Immunology is complex and immunology tests are very difficult to understand and interpret.  Our experts can advise on the investigation of virtually any immune problem.  This includes patients with possible autoimmune conditions, arthritis, vasculitis, or those with unexpected abnormal immunology tests.

Most people who suffer from recurrent infections have completely normal immune systems.  However a small number of adults and children are born with mild or severe abnormalities of their immune systems which make them more prone to infection, sometimes with serious consequences. 

In our clinics and laboratory we investigate patients with recurrent, severe or unusual infections to test whether we can identify a problem with their immune system.

We see patients with conditions such as:

• Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID)
• Chronic Granulomatous Disease
• Complement deficiency
• Severe Combined Immune Deficiency
• Hereditary angio-oedema
