Pediatric Allergy and Immunology
The Emory-Children’s Center Division of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology offers the most advanced tools and therapies to treat children with a wide range of allergies and primary immune deficiencies. We offer inpatient and outpatient assistance for many different conditions.
Emory-Children’s Center is a Jeffrey Modell Foundation Center for Excellence for the diagnosis and treatment of primary immune deficiencies. This is one of the only centers in Georgia, serving patients throughout the Southeast.
Dr. Karen Demuth discusses how location—specifically where you live—might affect your
seasonal allergies.
Within the Allergy and Immunology Clinic, the Southeastern Regional Center of Excellence for 22q is a multidisciplinary clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with DiGeorge syndrome.
