Immunology Center
The UCSF Pediatric Immunology Center offers comprehensive evaluations and consultations for children and adolescents with problems involving the immune system.
These include chronic and unusual infections, and primary immunodeficiency disorders, such as hypogammaglobulinemia, which can lead to repeated upper respiratory infections, antibody deficiencies, defects in white blood cells (which play a key role in immune function) and additional immune system impairments. We are a designated center of excellence for immunology care in California.
Our outpatient infusion center provides therapy with intravenous immune globulin and other injected medications.
We have extensive experience in diagnosing and caring for babies and children born with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Our center is designated by the California Department of Public Health to perform screening tests for SCID in newborns, and we can rapidly evaluate babies with abnormal test results. We're also a Jeffrey Modell Diagnostic and Research Center for Primary Immunodeficiency, one of 125 in the country that receive funding from the Jeffrey Modell Foundation.
