High-Quality Testing and Research
The field of diagnostic immunology has advanced significantly over the years. As technology improves, we are able to provide accurate results in shorter timeframes with less inconvenience for the patient. We have an active research program at Cincinnati Children’s and keeping up with scientific discoveries and technology has been a core for us. As a result, we have identified and developed tests to facilitate the diagnosis of more than 80 immune deficiencies. Our laboratory is particularly suited to the diagnosis of congenital and prematurely lethal immune deficiencies.
What we offer
Our Diagnostic Immunology Laboratory provides comprehensive, high-quality testing and research to help detect, diagnose and treat primary immunodeficiencies including:
- Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)
- X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP)
- Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS)
The laboratory’s director is Alexandra (Lisa) Filipovich, MD. Filipovich and her colleagues have developed many of the highly sophisticated tests that are available through this lab.
