MDE 8301 Clinical Allergy/Immunology
Credit Hours: var.
Allergic & immunologic problems affect up to 20% of adults & children in the United States, therefore, students rotating in allergy & immunology are exposed to a variety of common problems important to physicians regardless of their specialty interests. Both children & adults are seen in the clinics. The objective of the allergy/immunology experience is to familiarize the student with the pathogenesis, diagnosis, & treatment of various allergic & immunologic diseases. The student will examine patients with common medical diseases such as allergic rhino conjunctivitis, chronic rhinitis, acute and chronic sinusitis, various forms of asthma, otitis media with effusion, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, atopic eczema, contact dermatitis, urticaria and/or angioedema, drug allergy, insect hypersensitivity, and food allergy. The student will also examine patients with immunodeficiency diseases (including HIV infection), eosinophilia, eosinophilic syndromes, & various other immunologic problems.
