Clinical Immunology

Clinical immunology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the immune system and its role in health and disease. It studies how the body defends itself against infections and how it can sometimes mistakenly attack healthy tissues, leading to autoimmune disorders. Clinical immunologists diagnose and manage conditions like allergies, asthma, and immune deficiencies. They also explore how vaccines work and develop new treatments to enhance or modify immune responses. Overall, clinical immunology aims to understand and improve the body’s ability to protect itself while addressing immune-related health challenges.
