What is immunology?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Field of study: Immunology is the field of study of the immune system. This field is generally studied by allergists for the allergic aspects (IgE antibody) and people with immune system problems who have recurrent or severe infections (IgA, IgG, IgM). Rheumatologists study the immune system in regard to autoimmune (against self) diseases. The immune system protects us from infections but sometimes goes awry!
