The department of Allergy-immunology-Rheumatoilogy treats a wide range of diseases, which may affect multiple organs or systems of the entire body. These diseases can be classified into three major categories:
- Allergy related diseases, including skin allergy (urticaria/erythema multiforme), drug/food allergy, allergic rhinitis, and allergic disease of bronchus (asthma).

Immune dysfunction is the disorder that immune cells attack human cells or tssues, leading to body damages, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
