Allergy
Great attention is paid to Pediatric Allergy because childhood is the period when most allergic diseases first appear. However, the Centre’s activity is aimed at offering a wide range of services and assistance to families with allergy problems. It is thus possible to book a specialist allergy visit for both parents and children on the same day. For all abovementioned allergic diseases we offer visits, skin prick tests and blood tests (allergen-specific IgE). In addition to this, a highly advanced and sensitive allergy test is also available: the proteomic microarray for the measurement of specific IgE antibodies to multiple allergen components, called ISAC test. In accordance with the general practitioner’s request, the result will be interpreted by an expert allergist in our Centre. Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Saturday 7:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Laboratory working hours: Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Saturday 7:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. |

Prof. Giovanni Cavagni - Consultant allergist For information:
The Center has a Laboratory where specific IgE antibodies to allergen components are measured with the proteomic microarray (ISAC) system as well as many other allergy tests. Currently the ISAC test delivers results for over 103 natural or recombinant allergens. These 103 preparations cover a wide range of allergen sources, and allow simultaneous measurement of all possible allergic sensitizations to pollens, food, dust mites, insects, etc. |
