Sanident allergology specialists in Milan use modern techniques and procedures to identify allergies and intolerances.

It is possible to carry out visits with the allergist in Milan, tests and examinations for the diagnosis and treatment of allergies and intolerances and carry out the relevant specific immunotherapies:

Food allergy
Allergy to drugs
Allergy to the poison of Hymenoptera
Allergy asthma
Allergic contact dermatitis
Allergy oculorhinitis
Acute and chronic urticarias
Allergy tests
Tolerance and/or triggering skin tests (after evaluation by the specialist doctor)

It is possible to perform evaluation tests for patients with suspected allergy to the poison of Hymenoptera (bees, hornets, wasps).
Individuals at risk of anaphylaxis undergo specific immunotherapy, a “life-saving” therapy that can protect against severe reactions.
