Hypersensitivity Flashcards
Hypersensitivity
Altered immunological status to antigen and results in damage/disease
Hypersensitive reaction includes:
Allergy, Autoimmunity, and Alloimmunity
Familial Autoimmune disease
Major histocompatibility complex genes
Family member can have different affects
Alloimmunity
- Human to human
- immune system attacks self or things given from another human
- transplant, neonatal disease (maternal immune system, blood transfusion reaction)
Type 1 Hypersensitivity
Immediate
IgE
Mast cells
Most dangerous Type 1 hypersensitivity action
Anaphylactic
Local type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
Rash
itching
erythema
Systemic type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
Wheezing
Hay Fever (allergic rhinitis)
Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
Mast cell degranulation
Treatment of type 1 hypersensitivity reaction
Antihistamines/epi
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
Immediate
IgG/IgM
Macrophages
Cytotoxic/organ specific
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
Graves disease
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
Drug allergies
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
Transfusion reaction
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
What hypersensitivity reaction is tissue specific
Type II hypersensitivity reaction
Type III hypersensitivity reaction
Immediate
IgG/IgM
Neutrophils
Serum Sickness
Type III hypersensitivity reaction
Amoxicillin treatment causes reaction forming immune complexes on vascular endothelium causing vasculitis and tissue injury
Not organ specific/widespread
Type III hypersensitivity reaction
Autoimmune diseases
Type III hypersensitivity reaction
Lupus
Type III hypersensitivity reaction and II
Gluten allergy
Type III hypersensitivity reaction
