Immunology

Nemours provides comprehensive services, including clinical evaluation and immunologic testing for children with known or suspected immune deficiencies. Pharmacologic treatment, immunotherapy, disease-related counseling, and treatment for immune deficiencies is offered.

Immunology services at Nemours may be combined with the services of other specialties, such as allergy, asthma and pulmonology. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that children receive comprehensive treatment for immunologic conditions that overlap with other diagnoses.

Nemours immunologists are usually trained in multiple specialties—pediatrics and immunology and infectious diseases, for example. Nemours immunologists use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting physicians to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature. We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.

In Florida, our three Nemours Children’s Clinic locations are Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-accredited care centers, of which there are only six in Florida. Jacksonville is also the only clinic in the nation that features an asthma program for children that integrates patient and family teaching with patient programs developed by pediatric specialists in both pulmonology and allergy/immunology. Pediatric nurse-specialists and respiratory-care practitioners provide teaching.
