An Allergist & Immunologist, usually referred to as just an Allergist, is a physician who specializes in diagnosing, treating and preventing diseases related to the immune system. Abnormal activation of the immune system may cause allergic and autoimmune diseases. In the opposite spectrum, weakness of your immune system causes frequent infections as seen in several primary immunodeficiency diseases. The diseases and conditions that allergists specialize in treating range from common conditions such as seasonal allergies - known as hay fever - pollen/mold/pet allergy, asthma, sinus infections, hives, food and skin allergies to very rare conditions like primary immunodeficiency or weakness of your immune system. Other conditions that allergists also treat are insect allergies, drug allergies, eosinophilic disorders, mast cell disorders, and some rare autoimmune disorders that cause recurrent periodic fever usually seen in children. An Allergist Immunologist sees and treats both adult and children.
