BS: Hypersensitivity Flashcards
Allergic rhinitis, sinusitis (Rx type)
Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity
Allergic rhinitis, sinusitis (manifestation)
Increased mucous secretion, inflammation of upper airways and sinuses
Food Allergies (Rx type)
Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity
Food Allergies (manifestation)
Increased peristalsis due to contraction of intestinal muscles
Bronchial Asthma (Rx type)
Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity
Bronchial Asthma (manifestation)
Airway Obstruction caused by bronchial smooth muscle hyperactivity, inflammation and tissue injury in late phase
Anaphylaxis (Rx type)
Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity
Anaphylaxis (manifestation)
Hypotension caused by vasodilation, airway obstruction due to bronchoconstriction and laryngeal edema
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (Rx type)
Type II: Antibody-mediated hypersensitivity
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (target antigen)
erythrocyte membrane proteins (Rh blood group antigens, I antigens)
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (mechanism)
opsonization and phagocytosis of erythrocytes
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (manifestation)
Hemolysis, anemia
Autoimmune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (Rx type)
Type II: Antibody Mediated Hypersensitivity
Autoimmune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (Target antigen)
platelet membrane proteins
Autoimmune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (mechanism)
Opsonization and phagocytosis of platelets
Autoimmune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (manifestation)
Bleeding
Goodpasture Syndrome (Rx type)
Type II: Antibody Mediated Hypersensitivity

noncollagenous protein in basement membrane of kidney glomeruli and lung aveoli
Goodpasture Syndrome (mechanism)
Complement and Fc receptor- mediated inflammation
Goodpasture Syndrome (manifestation)
Nephritis, lung hemorrhage
Graves disease “hyperthyroidism” (Rx type)
Type II: Antibody Mediated Hypersensitivity
Graves disease “hyperthyroidism” (target antigen)
