2. The subdivision of Clinical Immunology, provides treatment of a wide range of diseases associated with disorders of the immune system, starting with the lack of immunity, which is expressed in the tendency to reinfection, and severe autoimmune disorders (a condition in which the immune system acts against the organs of the body).

Allergies and asthma 

In The subdivision is the treatment of various allergic diseases and asthma. In recent years dramatically increased the number of allergic reactions developing in different conditions and under the influence of various factors.

In the event of even a relatively light forms of immunopathology observed in humans:

       - Decreased performance,

       - Susceptibility to common diseases,

       - The general deterioration of the quality of life,

       - In a child, besides, reduced ability to learn and significantly disrupted the formation of the body that later appears as the delayed impact.

Coarser immunopathology lead to more severe health problems:

- Allergy (Atopic dermatitis, hay fever, atopic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis)

- Immunodeficiency (Frequent SARS, chronic rhinitis, bronchitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, adenoids, chronic pneumonia, chronic fatigue, streptoderma / streptoderma, mycosis, candidiasis, thrush, etc.).

Very rough shape immunopathology manifested as oncological conditions (cancer, cancer), and, frequently, and AIDS / AIDS, in which because of an extremely rough immunodeficiency is able to operate on a man, even HIV, in the vast majority of condition man is general uncharacteristic, that in the absence of adequate immunological treatment is almost always (if the patient does not have time to die before other opportunistic infections) and lead to cancer deaths.

Even a very rough immunopathology in most cases are treatable by methods of modern immunology, but successful treatment of the patient - it is each time due to the peculiarities of disturbances in the organism patient's, individual complex task, requiring the doctors not only of the highest professionalism, but also the availability to them of a very wide modern diagnostic base as clinical laboratory, as well as hardware, and, on the  express condition of absolute reliability of the results of objective research.
