The Allergist is a medical professional not well known, but in recent times it has become increasingly important in history of many disorders, taking care to diagnose and prevent allergies and intolerance to chemical substances and organic substances such as food create problems to the patient.

 

In order to perform their job better, you must reveal able to make the diagnosis of allergy type of which the patient suffers, trying to determine the proper and quick treatment that leads to healing, especially after ascertaining the presence of several typical symptoms of allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, itching, migraine and eczema. First, to reveal the patient's problem you need to make a visit allergy, a fundamental step to exclude and diagnose an ailment of allergy type. During the visit the pediatric and adult allergy, the patient is greeted by the doctor who, primarily, try to collect as much information as possible about the lifestyle of the assisted and then later decide any medical tests to be carried by the patient. During his visit, then the doctor will submit his patient some tests such as:

The skin prick test, examination that is performed for inhalants to highlight the presence of allergies in a subject in which are found more or less serious problems in the respiratory tract. The test is usually performed to identify allergies to grasses, to parietaria, to dust mites, to cat hair and even other substance with which the patient may come into contact in the environments in which they live.

Provocation tests, namely the direct application of the allergen in the eye, nasal and bronchial to observe the body's reaction to the allergen itself;

The patch test, an absolutely painless test performed on the skin to detect the presence of an allergic form, being able to identify the allergen so that also reveals the cause and the type of dermatitis through the use of patches containing allergen extracts, applied on the skin;

Rast tests or radio-allergo-absorption test, that is, research in the blood of specific antibodies such as IgE, or immunoglobulin E.

Once your preliminary visit, usually the allergist is dealing with other situations where you need to know and having to deal with different problems ,, entities such as also the treatment of arthritis and treatment of rheumatic diseases.

The treatment of rheumatic diseases is needed in the moment in which there is located with painful disorders in the apparatus main load with its connective tissues, namely those that form the connection between the muscles and bones. Diseases are, usually, of inflammatory as well as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis that and are caused by an autoimmune defense mechanism of the organism for which the production of inflammatory molecules originates particular inflammatory conditions in joints.

The treatment for these diseases require a series of treatments for disinfiammazione and rehabilitation or

Drug treatment that helps soothe acute and painful disease. The most used drugs, usually, are the anti-inflammatory steroids and non-steroidal that can block the transmission of pain;

Other techniques between several of them, such as TENS, the use of electrical stimulators connected to the body with the elettrodii pulses which go to act on the nerves reducing pain states;

Details and physiotherapeutic massage techniques to work alongside the more traditional techniques and in this case the support of a physiotherapist can greatly help the patient. 

 

You must first finalize the secondary schools, preferably to address scientific and once passed the exams, enroll in Medicine and Surgery degree program, course of study that will last six years to become doctors specializing in allergology, and where the future physician will deal with the theory of study and practice. At the end of six years it will be necessary to discuss the thesis and support the state exam which consists of two written tests that provide for the solution of 90 multiple choice questions and a practical training on a continuous basis for a period of three months, to be held for a month at the department of medicine, a month at the department of surgery and one month at a general practitioner. Once over this hurdle, you will need to subscribe to the specialization of Allergy and Immunology, journey that will last about 4 years and after which we must discuss a new thesis. The discipline of allergology is very wide and is therefore divided into different specialist areas:

The classic Immunology, which deals with the relationship between the body, pathogens and immunity;

The clinical immunology that deals with the study of diseases of the immune system caused by a functional alteration of this and of the rejection following transplantation;

Immunotherapy, which involves the use of components of the immune system to treat a disorder or a disease;

Immunology diagnostics, which involves the use of antibodies to detect various molecules both for research and for the actual diagnosis;

evolutionary immunology that is to study the evolution of the immune system in living and extinct species.
