Allergology

“Allergology and immunology is the medical specialty that is responsible for diagnosing and treating pathologies caused by allergies. Allergic diseases can present themselves in different ways. Currently there has been a steady increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases worldwide, according to the World Allergy Organization (WAO). Today between 30 and 40 percent of the world's population is affected by one or more allergies.”

Allergy is an abnormal and exaggerated reaction of the body to different substances. Therefore, it is a hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system that identifies a substance as harmful. Although this substance is usually tolerated by most people. As a consequence, allergy is a hypersensitivity to a specific element. In short, this element can be ingested, breathed in or touched and produces a reaction with particular symptoms.
