Illustrative sample processing in an immunology laboratory.

Immunology

Specialist review of a suspected immune disorder. Your infection history and previous test results help identify the appropriate consultation.

Assessment of immune disorders

Clinical immunology addresses disorders of immune defence and other immune-system findings. A consultation helps assess an unusual pattern of infections, abnormal laboratory results or a known immune disorder.

The doctor reviews how often infections occur, how severe they are and what treatment has been needed. Results are considered alongside your full medical history to select appropriate blood tests or recommend a follow-up assessment. Findings may lead to monitoring, treatment or input from another specialty.

OpenMedical coordinates the booking and tells you which results to bring. We check the examination scope, how findings will be shared, costs and payment arrangements with the clinic beforehand.

What you can discuss with the specialist

  • Unusually severe or prolonged infections
  • Recurring infections needing specialist assessment
  • A laboratory finding related to the immune system
  • Review of an already diagnosed immune disorder

Preparation and important information for your visit

  • List previous infections, their duration and the treatment used
  • Bring laboratory results and any hospital discharge reports
  • Prepare a medication list and details of previous care
  • Write down questions about results, follow-up and what to do during another infection

Frequently asked questions

About the consultation and planning your visit.

How do allergy and clinical immunology differ?+

Allergology addresses reactions to specific allergens. Clinical immunology assesses broader immune disorders, including inadequate immune defence. The fields often overlap.

Do frequent viral illnesses automatically mean weak immunity?+

No. Age, exposure, illness severity and recovery all matter. The number of colds alone does not determine whether assessment is needed.

Can one blood test check my entire immune system?+

Not always. One sample provides only part of the picture. The doctor recommends additional tests or repeat sampling based on the findings.

Will I receive immune-boosting medication?+

Not automatically. Treatment follows a confirmed problem, and not every finding requires medication. The doctor explains the next steps.

How do I book and what are the visit requirements?+

Send the reason for your visit and the patient’s age. Before confirming, we check availability, price, referral requirements and any insurance coverage.
