The development of clinical immunology and allergy in the Philippines

ABSTRACT

A tribute to the late Dr. Augusto Lingao who set up the Allergy Section in 1965 and a laboratory not only to start production of allergens and antigens but also provided immnulogic facilities as well. He set up a private laboratory - the Medical Test System which met the need for immunological tests. Dr. Lingao put up a program for a fellowship which can be for immunology alone and/or combined program for immunology and allergy
