Hypersensitivity diseases
View through CrossRef
Hypersensitivity reactions are aberrant immune responses that are provoked by innocuous extrinsic or self-antigens, are mediated by B-cells or T-cells, and may result in tissue or organ damage. Coombs and Gell classified hypersensitivity reactions into four types, based on the different immune responses: type I, or immediate hypersensitivity; type II, or antibody-mediated (humoral) cytotoxicity; type III, or immune-complex disease; and type IV, or delayed hypersensitivity. This chapter reviews the clinical features, diagnosis, and management of hypersensitivity reactions.
