The Immune Hematology Program at Dana-Farber/Boston Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders Center is one of the nation’s largest and most experienced treatment programs for children with immune cytopenias — disorders of the immune system that cause low counts of red blood cells, platelets, and/or white blood cells. We diagnose and treat children with a wide range of conditions including:
As part of the Multidisciplinary Immune Dysregulation and Autoimmunity Syndrome (MIDAS) Program, we also care for children with immune dysregulation and autoimmune disorders in which abnormal blood counts are a component.
Our team collaborates to provide advanced diagnostic evaluations and treatment plans for immune cytopenias, tailored to your child’s individual needs. We provide:
The Immune Hematology Program has more than two decades of experience caring for children of all ages with a full range of immune cytopenias, including complex, hard-to-treat conditions. We are a recognized leader in the field and engage in active research to help children with these disorders live life to the fullest.
Our pediatric hematologists partner with immunologists with expertise in autoimmunity and disorders of immune regulation. As needed, we also bring in specialists in rheumatology, endocrinology, pulmonology, gastrointestinal disorders, and others. We coordinate scheduling, so you can often see multiple specialists on the same day.
Our research program in immune cytopenias provides many opportunities for children to participate in studies and clinical trials if they wish. Boston Children’s is a leading member of the pediatric ITP Consortium of North America (ICON), which is focused on research and treatment of immune cytopenias.
Our research initiatives include:
We see patients in both our main location in Boston (300 Longwood Ave.) and at Boston Children’s Waltham. We are here to answer your questions and offer guidance and support. Call 617-355-8246 for information, to schedule an appointment, or to speak with a specialist.
