A

Cytotoxic hypersensitivity affect a variety of organs.

Drug-induced hemolytic anemia,
Granulocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia

The reaction time is minutes to hours.

18
Q

Type III hypersensitivity

A

Immune complex hypersensitivity

General (e.g. serum sickness, fever, rash, arthralgia)
Skin (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, Arthus reaction)
Kidneys (e.g., lupus nephritis)
Lungs (e.g., aspergillosis)
Blood vessels (e.g., polyarteritis)
Joints (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)

Rule this out in a patient who presents with fever of unknown origin! Look at the drugs the patient is on currently or any newly added drugs to their regimen

19
Q

Type IV hypersensitivity

A

Mediated or delayed type hypersensitivity.

The classical example of this hypersensitivity is tuberculin (Mantoux) reaction (figure 5), which peaks 48 hours after the injection of antigen.

PPD

20
Q

B-lactamase Inhibitors (e.g., Augmentin)

A

(e.g., Augmentin)
An enzyme called beta-lactamase is present in many different types of bacteria, which serves to ‘break’ the beta lactam ring, which effectively nullifies the antibiotic’s effectiveness.
