Immunodeficiency 

Immunodeficiency refers to illnesses where the patient's immune system, which is responsible for preventing and handling infections, is weaker than normal. Thus, these patients often have infections which are more severe, frequent or caused by unusual pathogen, unlike the usual viral infections and common colds seen in other children. 

The I CAN! Programme is dedicated to the holistic care of children with asthma and/or allergies. The programme encompasses inpatient and outpatient care, acute care services, chronic outpatient management as well as diagnostic and therapeutic facilities.

Please contact us at ican@nuhs.edu.sg to find out more about our programmes and upcoming events.

​At your first appointment, your child will be seen by one of our paediatricians specialising in allergy and immunology who will conduct a comprehensive review of your child's medical condition. Allergy tests such as skin prick test and lung function test may be performed depending on the condition. As skin prick test may be performed, please avoid antihistamines for at least 3 days prior to your appointment. We will provide appropriate prescriptions after the diagnosis.
