The Immunology Program at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive therapies for children with immune deficiencies. Each of the nearly 500 primary immunodeficiency disorders has a specific therapy, and all our therapies emphasize approaches that are sensitive to a child’s lifestyle.

Our Transition to Adulthood Services support older teens and young adults as they become more independent and their medical needs change. We emphasize managing immunodeficiencies as a way of life rather than an illness that restricts opportunities.

We have a close partnership with the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program and the Cellular Therapy and Transplant Section at CHOP. In our joint clinic, we work collaboratively to support patients and families. We closely monitor the patient’s immune system recovery immediately after hematopoietic stem cell transplant for primary immunodeficiency, and well beyond the immediate post-transplant period.

The Immunology Service participates in longitudinal research to review treatment and outcomes for patients with immune deficiencies long-term. We are also a Jeffrey Modell Center for the study of primary immunodeficiencies.
