Animal or plant protein fragments or allergens can all damage our immune system, causing excessive and abnormal functioning, and leading to allergic diseases. Depending on the organ system involved, the allergic reaction may cause respiratory, dermatological or gastrointestinal symptoms. In our allergy clinic we deal with the diagnosis and treatment of these disease groups.
The immune system is the body’s defense mechanism, whose main function is to protect the body from the attack of pathogens. Equally important, it recognizes in good time and destroys the cells in our body that grow into tumors. By inducing tolerance, half of the fetus with its partially ’foreign’ gene pool is allowed to develop in the womb, and the immune system also plays a role in nutrition. Immunology is a science that deals with problems affecting the functioning of the immune system, studying the body's normal and abnormal defense reactions and the possibilities of influencing them.

A hernia is when an internal organ is dislocated from its normal anatomical position or cavity through a congenital or acquired opening. Hernias most commonly affect the abdominal wall.The development of a hernia may be asymptomatic or may be accompanied by a heavy, pulling or dull ache, together with a bulging in the affected area. The bulge size may vary. The hernia contents can usually be reinserted into the abdominal cavity through the hernia gate. However, without treatment, there is a risk of hernia exclusion.During an exclusion of the hernia, the contents forming the hernia cannot return to the abdominal cavity, which can damage the blood supply to the excluded intestinal segment, creating an emergency with the risk of life-threatening intestinal necrosis, which can only be treated with urgent surgery.
In childhood, diseases of the respiratory system can extend to the upper and lower respiratory tract, and can be congenital or acquired diseases.

Rheumatology is a specialized field for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, which cures lesions, pain and stiffness of tendons, joints, muscles and bones with conservative, i.e. non-surgical intervention. This includes autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or metabolic diseases (e.g. gout), other inflammatory disorders, joint abrasions, osteoporosis, spinal wear and tear and inflammatory conditions, pain caused by strain (including tennis elbows, frozen shoulders and swollen flat feet). Many diseases originating internally have musculoskeletal symptoms, therefore close cooperation with doctors in other areas is essential. A special emphasis is placed on the work of physiotherapists who are involved, in close cooperation with the patient, with harmonizing joint movement and gait, maintaining balance and strengthening weakened muscles. Rheumatological problems can occur in anyone, regardless of age or gender. Early detection and effective treatment of severe inflammatory rheumatological diseases, even at a young age, can significantly alter their outcome and the patient's quality of life.
Neurology deals with detecting and treating organic (originating from the organs) disorders and diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. The neurologist examines and cures the functioning of the brain and spinal cord and the nerves that permeate the whole body from there. Complaints caused by neurological diseases vary widely, be it in their location or nature. Damage to the nervous system often appears not as an independent disease, but as a complication owing to other organ systems’ damage.
