Peter B. Mcnaughton is an immunologist based in South Brisbane, QLD, Australia. He helps people who have immune system problems that can affect everyday life, sometimes in ways that feel confusing or hard to pin down.
Immunology is all about how the body’s defence system works. When it doesn’t work the way it should, you can see frequent infections, ongoing inflammation, or immune reactions that flare up at different times. Peter looks after patients dealing with immune-related conditions, including severe immune conditions like Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), and other immune and inflammatory disorders.
Some people see him because they get mouth sores or painful canker sores, including aphthous stomatitis. Others may come in with skin rashes and immune reactions that can be serious, such as DRESS syndrome. At times, the issue can show up as lasting nerve problems linked to immune activity too, and his work includes conditions like transverse myelitis and neuromyelitis optica.
There are also rare genetic immune problems that can affect families across generations. Peter works with people with conditions such as adenosine deaminase deficiency, familial Mediterranean fever, and mevalonate kinase deficiency. Lymphadenitis, which is swelling or inflammation in the lymph nodes, can also fall into this general immune picture and may need careful assessment.
Because immune conditions can change over time, care often needs to be practical and steady. Peter’s focus is on understanding what’s happening, spotting patterns, and working out a plan that fits the person and their situation. That can mean helping manage symptoms during flares, supporting recovery after infections, and keeping an eye on how the immune system is behaving over the longer term.
Peter is located in South Brisbane. If you’re dealing with immune system symptoms that keep coming back, or you’ve been told you might have an immune-related condition, getting the right immunology input can make a real difference. He provides a calm, clear approach, and helps families navigate what can be a challenging area of health.
