Immunology

Definition of Immunology as it relates to Science, Medicine, Pediatrics

Immunology focuses on understanding the immune system's structure and function, its role in health and disease, and the mechanisms of immunity. In the context of pediatrics, it is concerned with children's immune systems, their development, and how they respond to infections and vaccines. It also studies immune-mediated diseases such as allergies and autoimmune conditions that affect children.
