Pediatric allergologist consultation

The problem of childhood allergies poses particular complexity. As a child's immune system is still developing, pediatric allergists face entirely different manifestations of diseases, while the methods of diagnosis and therapy for pediatric allergic conditions are fundamentally different from adult practices.

At the "Dobrobut" clinic, highly qualified allergist doctors detect diseases at early stages and prevent their development by conducting constant monitoring of the child. This requires coordinated teamwork among numerous specialists, including pediatricians, allergists, dermatologists, otolaryngologists, and others.

We treat:

• allergic dermatoses;
• seasonal allergic rhinitis;
• bronchial asthma;
• bronchial obstructive conditions;
• urticaria;
• Quincke's edema;
• atopic dermatitis.

We consult in the presence of the following symptoms:

• regular nasal congestion (in children over two years, morning nasal congestion occurs that resolves throughout the day);
• swelling of the eyes, tearing;
• itching, dry skin, appearance of rash;
• multiple sneezing (4-5 times in a row);
• itching in the nose, itching of the eyelids;
• frequent bronchitis, especially those accompanied by bronchial obstruction.

Our children's clinic in Kyiv provides assistance from a qualified pediatric allergist. The specialist will examine the child and select the optimal type of examination to identify the cause of the disease.

Advantages of Treatment in the Medical Network «Dobrobut»

Possibility of conducting a large number of laboratory diagnostic studies in the practice of an allergist:

• Complete blood count with determination of eosinophil count
• Cytological studies of specimens, including – nasocytogram
• Specific markers of inflammatory reactions
• Determination of total immunoglobulin E content
• Determination of eosinophilic cationic protein content
• Determination of the content of humoral immune factors, such as complement factors, interleukins, etc.
• Determination of the level of C1-esterase inhibitor
• Determination of serum immunoglobulin levels A, M, G
• Determination of the cellular composition of lymphocyte subpopulations
• Determination of specific immunoglobulin E to food and inhalant allergens
• Screening molecular allergological tests FadiaTop
• Pediatric molecular allergological panel
• Inhalant and food molecular allergological panels
• Markers of autoimmune diseases, including screening for extracted nuclear antigens
• Serological diagnosis of a significant spectrum of infectious diseases
• Molecular biological studies for detecting a wide range of infectious agents
• Bacteriological studies
• Parasitological studies

Possibility of conducting specific studies:

• Prick tests to identify the causal allergen
• Application skin tests to identify causes of contact allergy
• Provocative functional tests
• Studies of external respiration function using computerized spirometry and special pediatric diagnostic programs
• Examinations to detect latent bronchospasm
• Functional tests with broncholytics and physical load
• Provocative inhalation tests
• Autologous serum test to detect the autoimmune nature of urticaria

Individualized treatment selection for each patient:

• Conducting specific immunotherapy for allergic diseases (SIT) – subcutaneous and sublingual using modern high-quality allergen preparations
• Treatment and diagnosis of drug allergy
• Prescription and control of programmed relapse therapy for bronchial asthma, respiratory allergies, etc.

The pediatric allergist will develop an individual approach to the treatment of allergic diseases, help identify the causal allergen if possible, create a prevention program for exacerbations, including an individual hypoallergenic diet, and if necessary prescribe a specific immunotherapy program. Together with the pediatric dermatologist, they will recommend adequate skin care for children with allergies and atopic dermatitis, and together with the pediatrician will conduct dynamic monitoring to prevent exacerbations and complications of allergic diseases.
