Hypersensitivity 1
ALLERGIC REACTIONS.
HYPERSENSITIVITY
It is an exaggerated immune
response.
Sensitisation occurs on first exposure
to the Antigen.
Allergic response occurs on re
exposure to the same/cross reacting
antigen.
Type 1 Hypersensitivity.
Hemolytic anaemias.
ABO Transfusion reactions.
Drugs e.g
Penicillin,quinidine&phenacitin.
Infections e.g Mycoplasma
pneumoniae can induce Ab that cross
react with RBC resulting in haemolysis.
Good pasture’s syndrome.
TYPE 3
HYPERSENSITIVITY.
Also known as IMMUNE COMPLEX
HYPERSENSITIVITY.
Immune complexes persist &get
deposited in tissue.
Complement is activated &results in
inflamation & tissue damage.
Manifestations.
ARTHUS REACTION.
Inflamation causedby deposition of
immune complexes at a localised site.
ALLERGIC ALVEOLITIS.
FARMER’S LUNG.
CHEESE WORKER’S LUNG.
WOOD WORKER’S LUNG.
WHEAT MILLER’S LUNG.
SERUM SICKNESS.
CONTACT HYPERSENSITIVITY.
Caused by chemicals
e.gNickle,formaldehyde,plant
materiale.g poison ivy,poison
oak,topically applied drugs e.g
sulphonamides,neomysin,cosmetics&s
oaps .
TUBERCULIN TYPE
HYPERSENSITIVITY.
Occurs due to Ag of microorganisms.
Tuberculin test is a typical example.
PPD. Is injected I/D .
Ina pt. who is previously exposed to
infection redness & induration reaches
a peak in 48-72 hrs.
COMPLEMENT

Neisseriae sp.
Def.of C3b---recurrent pyogenic
infections.
Def.of C1 Esterase inhibitor—
angioedema.
Def.Of decay accelerating factor—
