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. 
• Identify whether your child’s symptoms are caused by an immune defect. 
• Provide a “Food Challenge Test," the standard diagnostic test for food allergy. The procedure will identify asymptomatic, symptomatic or outgrowing food allergies. As a result, your child will not need to avoid foods to which he or she is not allergic.
