16
Q

what determines clinical syndrome of type 1 HS

A

route of exposure

17
Q

symptoms/signs of anaphylaxis

A

tissue swelling, bronchoconstriction, laryngeal edema (difficult to reverse), peripheral vasodilation/hypotensive shock

18
Q

this is required for anaphylaxis to occur

A

vascular dissemination allergen

19
Q

mainline treatment for anaphylaxis

A

antihistamines and epinephrine

20
Q

symptoms of anaphylaxis (in order of greatest frequency)

A

urticaria/angioedema, bronchoconstriction, dizziness/syncope (hypotension), GI symptoms (NVD), peripheral vasodilation/flushing

21
Q

tx of choice in anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions

A

epinephrine (in combo with antihistamines)

22
Q

this tests for total serum amount of IgE

A

RIST

23
Q

this tests for serum amount of antigen-specific IgE

A

RAST

24
Q

what mediates type 1 HS?

A

mast cells (IgE binding Fc receptor)

25
Q

this receptor is cross-linked in type 1 HS -> causes release of mediators (histamine, leukotrienes)

A

IgE Fc receptor

26
Q

this kind of antigen is essential for type 1 HS reaction

A

multivalent

27
Q

what controls IgE mediated type 1 HS

A

CD4, TH2 pathway/IL4/IL5

28
Q

what portion of IgE is cross linked?

A

Fab

29
Q

this cytokine regulates IgE synthesis (stimulates naive IgM/IgD to IgE)

A

IL-4

30
Q

lipid mediators that are synthesized and act within 1-2 hours in early/acute type 1 HS

A

LTB4, LTC/D/E, PGE, PAF

31
Q

morphology of type 1 HS

A

mast cells (subepithelial tissue), edema, erythema, acute inflammatory infiltrate, eosinophils

32
Q

basic proteins located in eosinophils -> toxic to cells and parasites

A

major basic protein, eosinophilic cationic protein, neurotoxins

33
Q

this stimulates eosinophil production in bone marrow

A

IL-5

34
Q

Fc receptor expressed by activated eosinophils

A

FceRI

35
Q

induces degranulation of eosinophils

A

eotaxin, C5a, antigens

36
Q

what usually causes anaphylaxis

A

rapid systemic distribution of allergen

37
Q

these are examples of anaphylactoid reactions causing widespread mast cell degranulation

A

anesthetic agents, snake venom (complement activation), ASA

38
Q

this reverses effects of histamine on bronchoconstriction and vasodilation

A

epinephrine

39
Q

manifestation of an allergy is dependent on this

A

mast cell distribution (at site of exposure)
