Duke Asthma, Allergy, and Airway Center

Our clinic is staffed by pulmonologists, immunologists, allergists, and sleep experts. We treat adults and children who experience recurrent coughs, shortness of breath, and other respiratory issues. We diagnose, treat, and manage care for the following conditions:

Pulmonary (Lung) Conditions

• Asthma
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Bronchiectasis
• Interstitial lung disease (ILD)
• Occupational lung disease
• Sleep disorders in children and adults

We have a comprehensive lab on site where we can conduct a variety of tests, including pulmonary function testing for children and adults, exercise testing, and exhaled nitric oxide testing to detect asthma. We also perform Methacholine challenge testing to evaluate how well your lungs respond to environmental factors.

Immunology and Immunodeficiency Conditions

We offer testing and treatment for:

• Allergies, including environmental allergies and food allergies
• Primary immune deficiency

Testing includes skin testing for inhalants, pollens, molds, and foods. We also provide drug allergy evaluation and desensitization, and immunotherapy.

Penicillin Testing

Penicillin skin testing can confirm an allergy to penicillin. Many people believe they allergic to penicillin, but are not actually allergic. If you believe you are allergic and avoid penicillin antibiotics, you may wish to contact our clinic to arrange a testing to confirm the presence of this allergy.
