An 'allergist' in Seattle is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of allergic and immunologic diseases. Allergy develops after repeated exposure to the causative allergen. In Seattle allergists need to have plenty of time available for consultation and a keen interest in allergy because it needs patience for complete treatment. There are a large number of allergists in Washington who dedicatedly treat allergic patients and help them in quick recovery.
Allergy tests should only be done to confirm the suspected allergy detected from the history of the patient. So tests should not be used as blind searches for an allergic component to the patient's symptoms. If a patient understands the nature and causes of allergy then it will make future allergy control by the patient much more successful thus making the allergists work simple, that is to treat the patient. A person who is prone to allergies is termed as atopic. Studies have indicated that individuals who have atopy seem to have a greater risk for becoming asthmatic.
The main principle of an allergist is the therapeutic principle underlying allergy vaccination to administer controlled doses of protein substances i.e. allergens, to which the patient is allergic in order to rebuild the immune response tolerance. In this way, the allergic reaction can be reduced and potentially eliminated altogether. The immune system can resist any type of allergy thus resulting in ultimate recovery.
