Allergy and Immunology is focused on the study and treatment of patients with various types of allergic diseases and immunodeficiencies.
Allergy is a condition caused by a hypersensitivity mechanism of the immune system that generates an exaggerated reaction that occurs when the body encounters stimuli or agents that are harmless and usually tolerated by most people, which generates a series of inflammatory changes in the skin and mucosa responsible for the different symptoms and signs of allergic diseases.
These reactions are clinically manifested in a varied and different way, not only from person to person but also at different stages of the life of the same person, which is called allergic march. There are genetic predisposing factors and environmental triggering factors, that is, one is not born allergic, but rather has a genetic predisposition and depending on environmental factors the person becomes allergic to certain substances with the ability to produce an immune response of hypersensitivity and subsequently allergy. These substances are called allergens.
It should be considered that the lack of adequate treatment by suitable professionals can even cause death.
