imunoalergologia (immunoallergology) — the medical speciality for allergies
This is what Portugal calls allergology and immunology: appointments, tests and treatment for allergies to food, medicines, pollen and insect stings. In the state system you see this specialist with a referral from your family doctor or from A&E; you can't simply book an appointment yourself.
Where you come across it. You've had a severe reaction to a sting or to food; you need a prescription for an adrenaline auto-injector; it's unclear what you are allergic to.
The referral comes from your family doctor; at a private clinic you'll be seen sooner, but the tests are still ordered by the doctor, not by you.
