PIDD can target specific organs, glands, cells and tissues. Some PIDDs cause heart defects, others alter facial features, some stunt normal growth and others are connected to autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
Sinusitis
You may have sinusitis when the tissue lining your sinuses becomes swollen or inflamed. The symptoms of acute sinusitis typically last 10 days, whereas the symptoms of chronic sinusitis may endure for several months.
Pediatric Care
Dr. Nadel attended Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, before moving on to complete medical school at Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, Georgia. He then completed both an internship as well as a residency in Pediatrics at Charlotte Memorial Hospital, which was later renamed as Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dr. Nadel moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where he completed a fellowship in Allergy/Immunology at Children’s Mercy Hospital, followed by another fellowship in allergy/immunology, this time at the University of Kansas Medical Center, also in Kansas City. Dr. Nadel continued his training by completing a one-year research appointment at the University of Tennessee in Memphis. His area of research was on the “mechanism of action of asthma drugs.”
Ear Infections
Emergency Care
Immediately administer an injection of epinephrine into the outer mid-thigh, and visit an emergency room. Make an appointment with an allergist at Allergy & Asthma Consultants so that the triggers may be identified, and a life-saving maintenance and preparation plan may be established.
Immunizations
The diagnosis will be made with blood tests including tests to see if the individual has a good response to vaccinations. If there are low immunoglobulin levels or a poor response to vaccinations, then IgG immunoglobulin therapy may be indicated.
The purpose of decongestants is to temporarily relieve sinus and nasal congestion. Side effects can include headache, irritability, elevated blood pressure and headache. We do not recommend them for pregnant women or patients with glaucoma, hyperthyroidism, cardiovascular disease, and especially those who already suffer from elevated blood pressure.
He then moved on to Orlando Regional Medical Center in Orlando, Florida, where he completed his residency in internal medicine. Dr. Rabinowitz then underwent fellowship training in pediatric and adult allergy and immunology at National Jewish Hospital in Denver, Colorado.
Some immunodeficiency disorders are not hereditary or genetic. A secondary immune deficiency disease occurs when the immune system is compromised due to an environmental factor, such as HIV, chemotherapy, severe burns or malnutrition.
Come experience the difference the allergist and asthma doctors at Allergy & Asthma Consultants provide patients suffering with all types of allergies, asthma, eczema, chronic cough, hives, sinusitis, and many other allergic, sinus and immune system disorders.
Rashes
Skin Care
Unlike other skin rashes, eczema is not contagious. As with other allergies, avoiding the allergy trigger is the best form of treatment. To that end, we will ask you about the types of soap, detergent and skin care products you use as we attempt to identify the trigger. We may also perform an allergy skin test to help locate the trigger and prepare an appropriate treatment plan for you.
Psoriasis
Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition which causes scaly, dry skin, rashes, blisters and skin infections. Eczema is frequently confused with other skin conditions such as psoriasis which makes a proper diagnosis vital to an effective treatment plan.
