Allergy and Immunology

Overview

The Division of Allergy and Immunology was founded in 1984 at All Children's Hospital/Johns Hopkins Medicine in St. Petersburg, Florida by Dr. Robert Good. The Division includes clinical programs that encompass primary immunodeficiency diseases, pediatric and adult allergy, and pediatric rheumatology, and pediatric secondary immunodeficiencies.

Allergy

  • Our allergists treat diseases including rhinitis, asthma, food allergy, urticaria, eczema, and allergies to medications and insects.

Immunology

  • Our immunologists treat patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases, and a wide range of other immunologic problems. We also offer hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for many primary immunodeficiency diseases.

The Allergy and Immunology Division provides a full range of diagnostic services, and also offers infusion therapy services in conjunction with All Children's Hospital/Johns Hopkins Medicine.

The Division is currently involved in several federal, state and privately funded research projects focusing on environmental allergies, and immunologic conditions. We are one of the referral centers for diagnosis and management of severe combined immunodeficiency detected by newborn screening. The Division's laboratory is located on the fourth floor of the Children's Research Institute. The Division is also home of the only Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Training Program in Florida.
