Special Units
Asthma Center
Asthma is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the airways that carry air to the lungs and afflicts thousands of our fellow citizens. At Doctors' General Clinic, in the centre of Athens, which is on call 24 hours a day, we have developed an allergy and asthma treatment unit for better diagnosis and treatment.
Asthma symptoms can be relieved with proper treatment, but sometimes they can be relieved automatically by avoiding the irritant that caused them.
To diagnose conditions, at Doctors' General Clinic we carry out a range of specialised diagnostic tests, such as:
Diseases
- Allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis / sinusitis
- Atopic dermatitis (eczema) and contact dermatitis
- Acute and chronic urticaria
- Allergic anaphylactic shock in food and pharmaceutical allergies
- Allergic shock after insects bites
- Immune system disorders- deficiencies, either genetic primary or secondary to severe chronic diseases
In Europe, they are the leading cause of serious disability and the second cause of death and dementia, while in our country they are the third cause of death after coronary artery disease and neoplastic diseases.
