Summary of all the hypersensitivity disorders Flashcards
List the most important Type 1 hypersenstiivty disorders
- atopic dermatitis
- food allergy
- oral allergy dysndorme
- latex food syndrome
- allergic rhinitis
- acute urticaria
- anaphylaxis
Pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis
Food allergy: summary
allergens: milk egg peanut tree nut fish shellfish
pathology: IgE (anaphylaxis, OAS); cell mediated (coeliac); IgE/cell mediated (atopic dermatitis)
diagnosis: Food Diary, Skin Prick Tests, RAST, Challenge Test àMost resolve by adulthood.
treatment: Dietician, Food Allergy
tree nut, fish, Avoidance, Epipen, shellfish
Control asthma if present
Oral allergy syndrome
Allergen: Birch pollen + rosacea fruit, ragweed + melons,
mugwort + Celery(cross- reactivity)
Pathology: exposure to allergen idnuces allergy to food. sx limite dto mouth, 2% get anaphylaxis
Dx: clinicl, skin prick test
tx: avoid food, if ingested wash mouth + anti histamine
Latex food syndrome
allergic rhinitis
acute urticaria
Which triggers of anaphylaxis are IgE mediated vs non-IgE mediated?
IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation - peanut, penicillin, stings, latex
Non-IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation: NSAIDs, IV contrast, opioids, exercise.
DDx of anaphylaxis
C1 inhibitor deficiency - hereditary angioedema • ACEi induced angioedema • Acute anxiety • Urticaria
Mx of anaphylaxis
Elevate Legs, 100% Oxygen, IM Adrenaline 500 mcg, inhaled bronchodilators, Hydrocortisone 200mg IV, Chlorphenamine 10mg IV, IV Fluids, Seek Help
