Immune System Disorders
Your immune system helps protect your body from infections and illnesses. When the immune system does not function properly, it can lead to immune system disorders that affect the body’s ability to fight infections or regulate immune responses. At Southwest Asthma & Allergy Associates, we offer proper medical care to help manage different immune system disorders effectively.

Understanding Immune System Disorders
When your immune system stops functioning properly, it causes health conditions and illnesses. These conditions can be long-term and require professional evaluation and treatment.
Immunodeficiency
The condition where an individual suffers from a weakened immune system is referred to as immunodeficiency. This makes it hard for one’s body to combat any infections or viruses. People with immunodeficiency tend to get infections more often, recover more slowly, or find that illnesses hit harder than usual.

Our Diagnostic Approach
We follow a structured diagnostic approach to identify the disorders accurately. Our approach includes:
Medical Evaluation
We sit down with you, go through your medical history, and talk through your symptoms. That gives us a solid sense of what is going on and how far along it is.
Lab Tests
Depending on what the evaluation turns up, we may run blood cell counts, antibody level testing, or other tests to get a better read on your immune health.
Immune Function Assessment
We use specialized tests to see how well your immune system is actually responding to infections. The assessment is important for finding possible deficiencies.
