Pediatric Allergy & Immunology

Kentucky Children's Hospital Allergy and Immunology Clinic offers evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for children with allergic and immunologic disorders.

Our experts:

• Identify whether your child’s symptoms are caused by allergic reactions related to environment, food, insect, etc.
