Traditionally, medicine is divided into two parts, preventive and curative medicine. Preventive medicine is the part of medicine that is designed to prevent disease before it appears through early treatment that improves the prognosis. This part of medicine is included in the broader field of public health. Preventive medicine is divided into primary prevention, which acts directly on individuals, and secondary prevention, which involves on the methods used. Among the methods used, one of the most frequent is screening, which takes two forms, population screening, and the more common active search for cases. In allergy, prevention is carried out in vitro by studying umbilical cord IgE or T lymphocytes, and by following a series of guidelines, behavioral habits, and environmental standards that act directly on individuals (diet, smoking, pollution, etc).
传统上，医学分为两部分，即预防医学和治疗医学。预防医学是医学的一部分，旨在通过改善预后的早期治疗在疾病出现之前预防疾病。这部分医学包含在更广泛的公共卫生领域中。预防医学分为直接作用于个体的一级预防和涉及所使用方法的二级预防。在所使用的方法中，最常见的一种是筛查，筛查有两种形式，即人群筛查和更常见的主动病例搜索。在过敏方面，通过研究脐带 IgE 或 T 淋巴细胞以及遵循一系列直接作用于个体的指导方针、行为习惯和环境标准（饮食、吸烟、污染等）在体外进行预防。
