Study Notes
Hypersensitivity Reactions
- There are four types of hypersensitivity reactions: type I, type II, type III, and type IV, distinguished by their mechanisms and time frames.
- Exposure to allergens can occur through ingestion, inhalation, injection, or direct contact.
Classification of Hypersensitivity Reactions
- Type I, type II, type III, and type IV hypersensitivities have distinct mechanisms and time frames.
Type IV Hypersensitivity
- A classical example is the tuberculin (Montoux) reaction, which peaks 48 hours after antigen injection (old tuberculin).
