The Allergy/Immunology and Asthma Program at BMC provide expert diagnosis and treatment for a range of allergic and related lung disorders, including specialized care for difficult asthma, food allergy, hives, contact allergy, adult immunodeficiency, and eosinophilic disorders. We work closely with colleagues across our department and the hospital to provide a unique setting of care for patients with complex immunologic disease and associated pulmonary disorders and to ensure a smooth transition from pediatric allergy care to adult care.
