Pediatrics Immunology

Pediatric immunology specializes in understanding immune system development, function, and disorders in children. It explores neonatal immune responses, immune maturation during childhood, and immune system interactions with infections, vaccines, and environmental factors. Pediatric immunologists diagnose and manage immune-related conditions specific to pediatric populations, such as primary immunodeficiencies, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and immunization strategies. Research in pediatric immunology focuses on optimizing vaccine schedules, enhancing immune responses in young patients, and developing safe and effective treatments tailored to pediatric immune systems.
