    Study Notes

    Allergic Reaction and Lung Damage

    • Prolonged inhalation of powder dust particles can cause chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs.
    • This is mediated by IgE, an type of antibody involved in allergic reactions.
    • Chronic inflammation can lead to fibrosis, a condition characterized by the formation of excess connective tissue in the lungs.

    Consequences of Chronic Inflammation

    • Chronic inflammation can cause permanent damage to the lungs, leading to respiratory problems and other complications.
    • Fibrosis can further exacerbate respiratory issues, making it difficult for oxygen to reach the bloodstream.
