Immunology
Available locations:
Outpatient clinics
- Paediatric Immunology clinics are held in the Medical Tower at CHI Crumlin on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. There is a virtual clinic on Tuesday afternoons.
- Combined Rheumatology/Immunology Autoinflammatory clinic every 3 months.
We work closely alongside the Paediatric Infectious Diseases team at CHI to provide care for those who have underlying conditions that make them susceptible to infection. We work with all departments at CHI Crumlin to provide in-patient consultations and provide telephone advice to other Paediatric units.
We also work closely with the HSCT team in the Great North Children’s Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK where patients with IEI undergo HSCT, as well as the Immunology team in Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, UK where patients undergo gene therapy and thymic transplant when indicated.
