Allergy Conditions & Treatments

Do You Treat My Specific Allergy?

Your allergies are unique, but Banner Health’s adult allergy, asthma and immunology team diagnoses and treats the most common to the most complicated allergic reactions in kids and adults.

We treat the most common conditions, such as asthma and those triggered by the environment, food and medications, to more most complicated, including:

• Sinusitis or rhinosinusitis – an inflammation of the sinuses
• Hay fever or allergic rhinitis – an allergic response by the nose
• Hives - a skin rash triggered by a reaction to food, medicine, or other irritants
• Contact dermatitis – an allergic or irritant response to certain substances
• Eczema or atopic dermatitis – a chronic skin disorder
• Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis – an over response of the immune system to the fungus aspergillus
• Hypersensitivity pneumonitis – an over response of the lung to dust
• Immunodeficiency – failure of the immune system to protect the body adequately from infection

Allergy Treatments Options

Based on the results of your diagnostic tests, we offer many treatment options, including:

• Allergen immunotherapy – customized allergy shots used for environmental allergies and allergic asthma
• Aspirin challenges and desensitization – treatment for people who have aspirin-related flare ups of respiratory disease or allergy, but need treatment with aspirin
• Immunoglobulin (antibody) replacement therapy for immunodeficiency
• Medications and medication desensitization – treatment for those allergic to medications they need
• Venom immunotherapy – treatment for people with life-threatening allergies to bee, wasp, hornet or yellow jacket stings
