82
APC migration in allergic contact dermatitis
migrate via lymphs present HLA-antigen complex (with hapten) to naive T cell Naive T cell differentiate into memory T cells which expand clonal and aqeuire skin-specific homing antigens and go into circulation and act on cells with antigen in future exposure
83
sensitization phase in allergic dermatitis lasts how long and sx
The sensitization phase lasts 10–15 days and is typically asymptomatic
84
elicitation phase in allergic contact dermatitis
subsequent exposure to an allergen that the px is already sensitized to inflam + TLR activation + nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like receptors leads to neutrophil then T cell recruitment
85
what happens when T cells get recruited in allergic contact dermatitis
antigen specific effector T cells go to skin interact with APCs (PCs and dendritic cells) around post capillary venules
86
Inducible Skin-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (iSALT) in allergic contact dermatitis elicitation phase
induced by inflammation
87
what do T cells release to amplify the immune response in allergic contact dermatitis
IFN-y TNF-a which then recruit more inflammatory cells, stimulate macrophages, and keratinocytes to release more cytokines
88
what suppresses the allergic contact dermatitis elicitation phase
regulatory T cells Las can help develop reg T cells
89
if px presents with eczematous dermatitis they might have
allergic contact dermatitis
90
allergic contact dermatitis misconceptions
not alway bilateral even if antigen exposure is bilateral even if exposure to allergen is uniform the eczematous manifestation can still be patchy ACD can effect palms and soles

95
what is it called when sx disappear in irritant dermatitis and prevent progression to allergic or atopic dermatitis
hardening
96
when does irritant dermatitis manifest and resolve vs allergic contact dermatitis

atopic dermatitis from what mutatitons
filaggrin
109
kids will get irritant dermatitis in which areas (which leads to allergic contact dermatitis usually)
flexural areas
110
step 1- epidermal insult in irritant dermatitis
solvents diminish epidermal barrier and remove lipids or desiccate stratum corneum from repeated rapid drying genetic- filaggrin mutations lowers threshold to minor friction damaging epidermis
111
step 2- danger signals in irritant dermatitis
damaged keratinocytes release alarmins (danger signals) (i.e. defensins and uric acid) alarmins bind TLRs and promote inflammatory pathways like nuclear factor-KB that links to adaptive immune response and leads to allergic dermatitis
