Comprehensive testing and treatment for eosinophilic disorders, including asthma, HES, and EGID, at Modena Allergy & Asthma in Torrance, CA.
Allergies aren’t always as simple as sneezing or itchy eyes. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we treat complex eosinophilic conditions—chronic immune system disorders that cause inflammation in the lungs, skin, or digestive tract. These often-overlooked conditions can lead to frustrating, long-term symptoms that affect breathing, comfort, and overall quality of life.
Our team specializes in uncovering the root causes of inflammation using advanced diagnostics, biomarker testing, and personalized care plans. With cutting-edge therapies like monoclonal antibodies, we target inflammation at the source—offering relief that’s precise, effective, and built for the long haul. Whether you're newly diagnosed or still searching for answers, our Torrance specialists are here to support you with compassion and expertise.
If you're struggling with ongoing issues like asthma, chronic sinusitis, eczema, or GI symptoms that haven’t responded to standard treatments, it may be time to consider testing for an underlying inflammatory or eosinophilic disorder.
At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we specialize in complex cases. Our team goes beyond the basics, combining detailed medical history reviews with advanced diagnostics—including genomic profiling and targeted gene sequencing—to uncover what others might miss.
If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still don’t feel right, we’re here to help you find real answers and a treatment plan that finally makes sense.
At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we specialize in identifying and treating eosinophilic disorders—immune-driven conditions that often go overlooked or misdiagnosed. These disorders involve an abnormal buildup of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, which can lead to chronic inflammation and long-term damage to the lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs.
Conditions We Treat Include:
Eosinophils are immune cells that help your body fight infections and heal tissue. In the past, they played a major role in defending against parasites, especially in the gut and lungs. Today, parasitic infections are rare in developed countries—so when eosinophils become overactive, they often contribute to chronic inflammation instead of helping.
When eosinophils multiply excessively or remain active without a clear infection, they can attack healthy tissue, leading to a group of conditions known as eosinophilic diseases.
Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) is a rare but serious condition where the body produces too many eosinophils. These cells accumulate in the blood and organs—especially the heart, lungs, GI tract, and skin—causing inflammation and, over time, permanent damage. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential to managing symptoms and protecting organ function.
Eosinophilic asthma is a more severe form of asthma caused by inflammation from high eosinophil levels in the lungs. Unlike typical asthma, which is often triggered by allergens or exercise, eosinophilic asthma stems from immune dysfunction and tends to be more resistant to standard treatments like inhalers or steroids. Biologic therapies are especially effective for this type of asthma, helping reduce eosinophils, prevent flare-ups, and improve overall lung function.
Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), formerly Churg-Strauss Syndrome, is a rare form of vasculitis—a condition that inflames blood vessels. EGPA typically affects the lungs, sinuses, nerves, and skin. It’s marked by a combination of asthma, high eosinophil counts, and systemic inflammation.
Because EGPA can affect multiple organs, it requires multidisciplinary management. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we provide integrated, long-term care to control inflammation and reduce the risk of lasting complications.
EGIDs are a group of chronic conditions caused by eosinophilic inflammation in the digestive tract. These include:
EGIDs are often linked to food allergies or immune disorders. Diagnosis typically involves endoscopy and tissue biopsy, and treatment may include dietary changes, biologic therapies, or targeted anti-inflammatory medications.
Before your first visit, we’ll gather any prior medical records, such as lab results, imaging, and physician notes, to help us build a complete picture of your health. Reviewing these documents ahead of time allows our team to ask the right questions, avoid repeating unnecessary tests, and often uncover a more accurate diagnosis.
To streamline the process, we’ll email you a Medical Release Form. Once you sign it, our staff will handle the rest, contacting your previous providers and securing the records for review.
During your initial consultation, your allergist may recommend advanced testing tailored to your symptoms. This could include allergy skin testing, targeted blood work, or imaging. Your follow-up appointment—typically within 1 to 2 weeks—will focus on reviewing your results and outlining a personalized treatment plan designed to give you lasting relief.
Eosinophilic diseases are often triggered by underlying conditions, such as asthma, allergic reactions, parasitic infections, or medication sensitivities. These are referred to as secondary causes. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, our first priority is identifying and addressing any root cause that may be driving your symptoms.
If no clear secondary cause is found—or if your symptoms persist despite treatment—your provider may recommend targeted therapy to reduce eosinophil levels and prevent long-term complications.
Common Treatment Options Include:
Each treatment plan is customized based on your test results, symptoms, and how your body responds, always with the goal of improving your quality of life and preventing long-term tissue damage.
If you're experiencing persistent sinus, lung, skin, or digestive symptoms—and have elevated eosinophil levels—we’re here to help you find answers and relief through advanced, evidence-based care.
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy is transforming how we treat chronic inflammatory and eosinophilic diseases. While your immune system naturally produces antibodies to fight infections, monoclonal antibodies are lab-engineered to zero in on specific immune pathways, offering highly targeted, effective treatment with fewer side effects than traditional options like steroids.
At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we use monoclonal antibodies to reduce eosinophil levels, calm inflammation, and prevent long-term tissue damage. These therapies are now commonly used to manage complex conditions such as:
Unlike steroids, monoclonal antibodies are designed for long-term use and are generally well-tolerated, making them an ideal choice for patients who need sustained relief without the risks of traditional medications.
Recovery from eosinophilic disease is a complex journey that varies for each patient. While some see quick progress with targeted treatment, others need ongoing care. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we prioritize long-term remission and improved well-being, going beyond symptom relief.
Our plans, advanced therapies, and expert guidance aim to empower patients towards better health. Whether you're just beginning your recovery or looking for solutions for persistent symptoms, our dedicated team is here to support you on your path to feeling better, one step at a time. Trust us to help you regain control of your health and well-being.
