• Consequences of disease, drug, nutritional
inadequacies

Hypersensitivity
Immunological reaction
• refers toundesirable immune reactions produced by the normal
immune system.
Hypersensitivity reactions
• When an immune response result in exaggerated OR in
appropriate reactions harmful to the host the term hypersensitivity
OR allergy used.
Hypersensitivity reactions:
• four types; based on the mechanisms involved and time taken for
the reaction, a
particular clinical condition (disease) may involve more
than one type of reaction.
Types
Type I
Type II
Type III
Type IV
___________________________________
Type I, II and III Antibody Mediated
Type IV Cell Mediated
Commonly called allergy Mediated by IgE antibodies
produced by plasma cells in
response to stimulation of Th2 cells by an antigens.
The antigens that stimulate it are called allergens
(i.e. House dust, Pollens, Cosmetics, Insects, Clothing and
Drug)
Exposure may be ingested, inhalation, injection or direct
contact.
Type I hypersensitivity reactions can be systemic (e.g.,
systemic anaphylaxis) or localized to a specific target
tissue or organ (e.g., allergic rhinitis, asthma).
