Immunology

Targeted specialist evaluation of immune system dysfunctions, suspected systemic autoimmune diseases, and recurrent, persistent infections.

Immunology consultation

When multiple seemingly unrelated symptoms point to an underlying immune system disorder

The role of the immune system is to defend the body against infections while avoiding attacks on its own cells and tissues. Disruptions in its function can manifest in many different ways: recurrent infections, prolonged fatigue, joint or muscle pain, dry eyes and mouth, recurrent skin rashes, and other multisystem symptoms are all reasons to consult an immunologist.

During an immunology consultation at Swiss Clinic, we evaluate your symptoms and previous test results comprehensively. Our goal is to determine whether an immunological condition is present, identify which targeted diagnostic tests are necessary, and coordinate care with other medical specialties whenever appropriate.

Immunology consultation and specialist medical examination

Important information before your visit

A thorough review of your medical history and previous test results is one of the most critical parts of an immunological evaluation. Because immune disorders frequently involve multiple organ systems, reports from other medical specialties offer vital diagnostic context.

What to keep in mind before your visit

  • Previous lab results: Bring your complete blood count (CBC), inflammatory markers, previous immunological lab panels, and any other test results relevant to your current symptoms.
  • Specialist documentation: Please bring records and diagnostic findings from rheumatology, hematology, dermatology, pulmonology, nephrology, cardiology, or any other previous specialist visits.
  • Timeline of symptoms: Note when your symptoms first began, whether they occur intermittently, and if you have observed any triggers, such as infections, sun exposure, or stress.
  • Current medications: Prepare an accurate list of all your regular and as-needed medications. Fasting is generally not required for the consultation itself; if blood draws are performed on the same day, please follow the specific preparation guidelines provided for those tests.

When should you see an immunologist?

Scheduling an immunology consultation is particularly recommended in the following cases:

  • Symptoms suggestive of autoimmune disease: Persistent or recurrent joint pain and swelling, muscle pain or muscle weakness, photosensitivity, recurrent mouth ulcers, or other multisystem complaints.
  • Persistent, unexplained systemic symptoms: Long-standing fatigue, recurrent fevers of unknown origin, unintentional weight loss, or persistent lymph node enlargement.
  • Dry eyes and mouth, Raynaud's phenomenon: Chronic dry eyes and dry mouth (sicca symptoms), or fingers that turn white and then blue in response to cold temperatures or emotional stress.
  • Frequent or unusually prolonged infections: Recurrent, slow-healing, or atypically severe infections where an underlying immune system dysfunction is suspected.
  • Immunological evaluation of previous findings or complex cases: Positive autoimmune laboratory panels, suspected autoimmune disorders identified by another physician, or targeted immunological assessment for recurrent pregnancy loss or thrombotic events when indicated.

Available examinations

Our clinic provides targeted specialist evaluations for immune system dysfunctions and systemic autoimmune diseases:

Initial and follow-up immunology consultation

Comprehensive medical history review, systematic evaluation of symptoms and previous findings, physical examination, and development of a targeted diagnostic plan.

Targeted evaluation of the complex immune system

Symptoms of immunological diseases can be remarkably diverse. A systemic autoimmune process may simultaneously affect the joints, skin, muscles, kidneys, or other organs, while certain immune deficiencies or dysfunctions may present as recurrent or atypical infections.

For this reason, an immunological workup does not consist of a single generic "immune test." Our specialists select targeted diagnostic tests based on your specific symptoms, family and medical history, and existing results. When necessary, interdisciplinary collaboration ensures accurate diagnosis and tailored ongoing management.

Are you experiencing recurrent symptoms affecting multiple organ systems, or did a recent blood test indicate an immunological irregularity? Our clinical immunologists will thoroughly evaluate your symptoms and lab findings to design a targeted diagnostic plan for your next steps.

Main focus and diagnostic areas:

Systemic autoimmune diseases

  • Diagnostic evaluation of suspected lupus and Sjögren's syndrome
  • Assessment of systemic sclerosis and inflammatory myopathies
  • Investigation of vasculitides and multisystem immunological disorders
  • Clinical evaluation of positive autoantibody profiles

Recurrent infections

  • Evaluation of frequently recurring or slow-healing infections
  • Investigation of atypical clinical courses of infection
  • Targeted immunological laboratory testing when clinically indicated
  • Developing structured diagnostic and monitoring pathways

Complex immunological symptoms

  • Comprehensive assessment of joint, muscle, skin, and mucosal symptoms
  • Workup for dry eyes, dry mouth (sicca symptoms), and Raynaud's phenomenon
  • Immunological evaluation of persistent, unexplained general symptoms
  • Coordination with relevant medical subspecialties when necessary

Don't let your symptoms leave you with unanswered questions

Our experienced medical specialists and advanced diagnostic technology can help identify the underlying causes of your symptoms. Choose an appointment time that works best for you.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions regarding our immunology consultation and specialized care.

An immunological evaluation is recommended for persistent or recurring complaints that affect multiple organ systems. These may include joint pain or swelling, muscle weakness, persistent dry eyes and mouth, Raynaud's phenomenon, recurrent mouth ulcers, fever of unknown origin, or frequent, slow-healing infections.

A positive autoantibody test alone does not automatically confirm an autoimmune disease. Certain antibodies can be present in healthy individuals, which is why test results must always be interpreted in the context of clinical symptoms, medical history, and broader laboratory findings. An immunologist provides the specialized interpretation needed to reach an accurate clinical conclusion.

Allergology focuses primarily on hypersensitivity reactions, such as allergic rhinitis (hay fever), food allergies, and hives. Clinical immunology centers on systemic autoimmune conditions and dysfunctions of the immune system. Because certain symptoms can overlap, a specialist consultation helps clarify the exact nature of the disorder and determine the appropriate clinical approach.

Fasting is generally not required for the medical consultation itself. If blood draws are scheduled on the same day, fasting requirements depend on the specific laboratory panels requested, and you should follow the instructions provided for those tests.

During the initial consultation, your immunologist will thoroughly review your symptoms, their timeline, your personal and family medical history, current medications, and previous test reports. A physical examination may be performed, after which your specialist will determine whether targeted diagnostic lab testing or referrals to related specialties are necessary.
