Clinical Services
The Section of Allergy, Immunology and Rheumatology is an integrated program between National Jewish Health (NJ) and The Children's Hospital (TCH). NJ and TCH have multidisciplinary health care teams to treat all aspects of a patient's illness.
The Allergy and Immunology Section at TCH provides both ambulatory and inpatient consultation services for children with all forms of allergic, hypersensitive, and congenital immune deficiency disorders.
The Rheumatology Section at TCH and NJ diagnoses and treats rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases of childhood, including arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis. The rheumatology team works closely with the referring physician and other specialists to coordinate care and treat all aspects of a patient's illness. In collaboration with the Section of Hematology, Oncology and BMT, Dr. Soep staffs a multidisciplinary Antiphospholipid Antibody Clinic. Additionally, Drs. Soep and Hollister, in collaboration with the Section of Nephrology, participate in a monthly combined Nephrology/Rheumatology Clinic to provide comprehensive care to patients with renal manifestations of their rheumatologic condition.
Asthma care is coordinated between the Allergy and Immunology Section and the Pulmonology Section.
Together with the Section of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, clinics in eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders are held at both NJH and TCH, supervised by physicians based both at TCH and NJH.
