Q

what type of hypersensitivity is tissue rejection?

A

type IV

30
Q

host-versus-graft

A

occurs when the donar’s antibodies attack the transplant

31
Q

graft-versus-host

A

when the graft contains T cells that attack the host

32
Q

hyperacute rejection

A

occurs immediately

33
Q

acute rejection

A

occurs over several weeks

34
Q

chronic rejection

A

occurs over several months or years

35
Q

common treatment for transplants

A

immunosuppressive therapy involving cyclosporine, azathioprine (Imuran), and prednisone, a glucocorticoid

36
Q

antibody involved with type I hypersensitivity reactions

A

IgE

37
Q

atopic hypersensitivity reaction

A

inherited tendency towards developing an allergy

38
Q

type I reaction

A

IgE binds to a mast cell during exposure to an allergen, causing histamine release and anaphylaxis

39
Q

types of reactions associated with a type I reaction

A

hives, airway constriction, nasal congestion, diarrhea, vomiting, eczema, or anaphylaxis

40
Q

damaging effect of vasodilation

A

causes low BP

41
Q

what antibodies are associated with a type II reaction?

A

IgG or IgM

42
Q

example of a type II reaction

A

ABO blood incompatibility

43
Q

type II reaction

A

circulating antibodies reaction with antigens, causing destruction of the cell by phagocytosis or by releasing cytotoxic enzymes

44
Q

type III reaction

A

the antibody combines with an antigen, forming a complex that is deposited in tissues and this activates complement

45
Q

serum sickness

A

occurs when many antibody-antigen complexes are deposited in various tissues

46
Q

examples of type III reactions

A

systemic lupus, glomerulonephritis, and rheumatoid arthritis

47
Q

type IV reaction

A

antigen binds to T lymphocytes and these release lymphokines

48
Q

examples of type IV reactions

A

contact dermatitis or transplant rejection

49
Q

systemic lupus erythematosus

A

autoimmune disease that affects various systems and presents symptoms of a butterfly rash, joint inflammation, glomerulonephritis, chest pain, heart inflammation, and anemia

50
Q

Discoid lupus erythematosus

A

is a less serious version of the disease affecting only the skin

51
Q

what hypersensitivity reaction is SLE associated with?

A

type III

52
Q

SLE treatment

A

prednisone, a glucocorticoid and NSAIDs

53
Q

primary deficiencies

A

indicate a basic developmental failure somewhere in the immune system, ex. bone marrow, thymus, or antibody synthesis

54
Q

digeorge syndrome

A

hypoplasia of the thymus resulting in decreased T cells

55
Q

hypogammaglobulinemia

A

low antibody levels due to a B cell deficit

56
Q

secondary deficiencies

A

refers to loss of the immune response resulting from specific causes and may occur at any time during the life span; is associated with infection, removal of the spleen, or malnutrition

57
Q

why stress may lead to immunodeficiency?

A

because glucocorticoids are released

58
Q

when is an individual considered HIV positive?

A

when the virus is present but few clinical signs have appeared

number of T cells for positive HIV diagnosis

A

less than 200 cells per cubic mL of blood

Q

drug used for pregnant women with HIV

A

azidothymidine

64
Q

what antibody is increased in HIV?

A

IgG

Q

what does kaposi sarcoma affect?

A

the skin, mucus membranes, and internal organs

Q

antiretroviral therpay

A

refers to the use of many antiviral drugs in HIV therapy

69

What does seroconversion mean in relation to HIV and AIDS?

A

Antibodies for HIV have been identified in the blood.

70
Q

what reactions occur with transplants?

A

type IV and humoral response

71

enterotoxins

A

stimulate vomitting and are an exotoxin released by gram-positive bacteria
