Pulmonary medicine (pulmonology) is the science of diseases of the lungs, airways and respiratory system. A pulmonologist is a doctor who specialises in the respiratory system. This system includes all the organs, airways, tissues and muscles that bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide from it.
The respiratory system includes:
Respiratory function lung tests are performed with state-of-the-art spirometers to diagnose respiratory diseases. For the examination of allergic patients (hay fever, asthma) we perform cutaneous prick tests and IgE RAST determination from serum. Bronchoscopy, MR and CT are also available for the diagnosis of lung tumours.
For the investigation of diseases, our pulmonologists also call on the help of other specialists in allergology, otorhinolaryngology, gastroenterology, etc. as necessary.
Allergology is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases. Allergy is a hypersensitivity to certain substances that normally do not elicit any response from the body.
Allergens (e.g. pollen, animal hair, heavy metals, mites, food, ingredients in medicines) can enter the body by several routes, through the respiratory tract, the skin or the alimentary canal.
The pulmonary specialists of the Wáberer Medical Center have considerable professional experience in the investigation and treatment of acute, inflammatory and chronic diseases of the respiratory system, as well as malignant tumours of the lung.
