Patient Resources
Midwest Immunology is proud to help those with an immune deficiency to get the relief they need from their symptoms so that they can live a relatively normal life. While our facility only accepts referral patients, we’re happy to assist you in any way that we can — including providing resources where you can learn more about immune system disorders. Whether you’re a new patient or someone looking for answers, we’re here to help you get the information you need.
Patient Forms
It is extremely important and necessary that you bring, fax, or mail all of your doctors’ records — including office notes, x-rays/radiology reports/scans, and especially labs — to your first appointment. Before your appointment, please download and bring your new patient form, and have your doctor’s office send all relevant medical records.

Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PIDDs)
The Immune Deficiency Foundation improves the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life of people affected by primary immunodeficiency through fostering a community empowered by advocacy, education, and research. There are approximately 250,000 people who are diagnosed with PI in the US, and thousands more go undetected. IDF helps individuals overcome difficulties associated with their condition.
The Jeffrey Modell Foundation is a global patient organization devoted to early and precise diagnoses, meaningful treatments, and ultimately, cures — through clinical and basic research, physician education, patient support, advocacy, public awareness, and newborn screening. JMF has organized more than fifty scientific symposia, including global meetings, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)
The US HAEA provides the HAE community with a personalized support network and a wide range of services to help them lead a normal life.
