We provide diagnostic skin testing for environmental triggers and desensitization (immunotherapy) for inhalant allergens.

Our service also evaluates and desensitizes patients with drug allergies and allergic reactions to biologic immune-responses modifiers. In addition, we see children and adults for the evaluation of recurrent infections with suspected immune deficiencies.

We can provide therapy with replacement intravenous immunoglobulin for patients with antibody deficiencies. In conjunction with Kaleida Health, the division has access to the Immunobiology Testing Laboratory for the evaluation of patients with allergic and immunologic disorders.

We have ongoing research in the mechanisms of action of intravenous immunoglobulin, and the immune-modulating effects of vitamin A and retinoids on B-cell function and dendritic cell maturation. We also have an active research program on the immunobiology of chronic sinusitis.

The Division of Allergy, Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology is an ACGME-accredited training program in allergy and immunology. The American Board of Allergy and Immunology, a conjoint board between the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Internal Medicine, accredits our fellowship program in allergy and immunology.

We have four fellows: two first-year and two second-year. Our teaching and education missions extend beyond our fellows in training to pediatric residents and medical students.
