Consultation of a Pediatric Allergist
Allergic diseases nowadays are the leading cause of health problems in adults and children in the world. Allergy significantly impairs the quality of life, can lead to serious complications and even disability.
Childhood allergies are most challenging. As the child's immune system is still developing, pediatric allergists have to deal with completely different manifestations of the disease, while the methods of diagnosis and treatment of pediatric allergic diseases are fundamentally different from the adult clinical practice. Highly qualified allergists at the Dobrobut MC detect the disease at an early stage and prevent its development by continuous monitoring of a child’s condition. This requires the coordinated joint work of many specialists, in particular pediatricians, allergists, dermatologists, otolaryngologists and others.
We treat the following diseases:
- allergic dermatosis;
- seasonal hay fever;
- bronchial asthma;
- broncho-obstructive syndrome;
- urticaria;
- Quincke's edema;
- atopic dermatitis.
Consultation is provided if a child has the following symptoms:
- regular nasal congestion (children over two years may have morning nasal congestion resolving during the day);
- itching, dry skin, rash;
- repeated sneezing (4-5 times in a row);
- swelling of the eyes, tearing;
- itchy nose, itchy eyelids;
- frequent bronchitis, especially complicated with by blocking of bronchi.
Our children's clinic in Kyiv provides assistance from a certified pediatric allergist. The specialist will examine a child and select the best examination to identify the cause of the disease.
Strengths of the Dobrobut MC
Here it is possible to conduct a large number of laboratory tests needed for an allergist to make a diagnosis, in particular:
- blood count to determine the number of eosinophils
- cytologic screening, in particular nasocytogram
- acute phase reactants;
- total immunoglobulin E
- eosinophil cationic protein
- humoral immune response, such as complement factors, interleukins and others;
- level of C1-esterase inhibitor
- level of serumA, M, G immunoglobulins
- cell composition of lymphocyte subpopulations
- pediatric molecular allergy panel
- specific immunoglobulins E for food and inhalation allergens
- FadiaTop molecular allergy screening tests
- inhalation and food molecular allergy panels
- markers of autoimmune diseases, including screening of extracted nuclear antigens
- serological diagnosis of a significant range of infectious diseases
- molecular biological testing to detect a wide range of pathogens
- bacteriological screening;
- parasitological screening
- skin prick testing to detect the causative allergen;
- application skin testing to identify the causes of contact allergies;
- provocative functional testing;
- assessment of the function of external respiration using a computer spirogram and special children's diagnostic programs;
- examination to detect latent bronchospasm;
- functional testing with bronchodilators and exercise;
- provocative inhalation testing;
- autologous serum test to detect the autoimmune nature of urticaria .
- specific immunotherapy of allergic diseases – subcutaneous and sublingual ASIT with modern high-quality allergen extract preparation;
- treatment and diagnosis of drug allergies;
- prescription and monitoring of anti-relapse therapy program for bronchial asthma, respiratory allergies and others.
Pediatric allergist develops an individual approach to the treatment of allergic diseases, if possible, helps to identify the causative allergen, develops a program to prevent exacerbations, including an individual hypoallergenic diet, and if necessary, prescribes a program of specific immunotherapy. Together with a pediatric dermatologist, the allergist recommends adequate skin care for a child with allergies and atopic dermatitis, and together with a pediatrician conducts dynamic monitoring to prevent exacerbations and complications of allergic diseases.
