Division of Pediatrics

We take care of infants and children who suffer from various kinds of disease.We attend division of pediatrics and neonatal intensive care unit in our hospital.Each staff has subspecialties and also works as a general pediatrician. Many staffs have been trained at the training institutions to get subspecialties. The pediatric specialists manage the pediatric patients in outpatients clinics, and treat severely ill patients in hospital. We perform specific examinations, including flow cytometry and cytokine analysis, ultrasonography, electro physiologic tests (electroencephalography, various evoked potentials, and nerve conduction studies, etc.),respiratory functional tests, muscle biopsy and renal biopsy, as needed. Specific treatments are available, including cancer chemotherapy, immunotherapy, stem cell transplantation, brain hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy or acute encephalitis/encephalopathy, plasma exchange for intractable Kawasaki disease, and NO theraphy for neonates.

Division of Allergy

The department engages in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with allergic diseases including bronchial asthma, food allergy, drug allergy, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. To identify the cause of allergy (allergen), examinations such as blood tests for specific IgE antibodies, skin tests (prick and scratch tests). And food challenge tests are performed. Since allergic inflammation occurs in various organs in one patient, we take care of many patients with other specialists, such as otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists and dermatologists.
