Study Notes
Immune Response
- Cell-mediated immunity: targets are attacked directly by immune system cells, specifically cytolytic T cells and macrophages
- Humoral immunity: immune responses mediated by antibodies
B Lymphocyte Cells
- Produce antibodies
Antibody Response
- IgM: first class antibody to respond to an antigen (virus)
Antigens
- Molecules that induce specific immune responses and become the target of those responses
- Can trigger production of antibodies, cytotoxic T cells, or both
Immunity Types
- Active immunity: response to infection, vaccine, or toxoid
- Passive immunity: given antibodies, provides immediate protection but persists only as long as the antibodies remain in the body
Vaccines
- Live virus vaccination: dangerous for immunocompromised patients, as they cannot mount a defense against the live vaccine virus
- Toxoid: bacterial toxin changed to a nontoxic form
- Specific Immune Globulins: high concentration of antibodies directed against a specific antigen, provides immediate passive immunity
Vaccine Side Effects
- MMR vaccine: anaphylaxis
- Diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine: acute encephalopathy
- Poliovirus vaccine: vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis
- Fever: mild side effect, not recommended to treat with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or aspirin
Contraindications
- MMR vaccine: pregnancy, severe immunodeficiency, anaphylactic reaction to gelatin, eggs, or neomycin
- Hepatitis B vaccine: previous anaphylaxis reaction, allergy to Baker's yeast
- Varicella vaccine: pregnancy, cancers, hypersensitivity to neomycin or gelatin, and immunocompromised patients
- IPV: anaphylactic reaction to streptomycin, neomycin, or bacitracin
- Hepatitis B vaccine: not a live virus, contains hepatitis B surface antigen made from a viral component
Vaccine Types
- DTaP: used for routine vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis
- DT: used for children younger than 7 who should not get pertussis vaccine
- Tdap: used as a booster in adolescents and adults to protect against all three diseases
- TD: used as a booster for adolescents and adults to protect against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis
- Poliovirus vaccine: IPV contains trace amounts of streptomycin, neomycin, and bacitracin, children with an allergy to these drugs should be monitored
Special Considerations
- Varicella vaccine: avoid close contact with susceptible high-risk individuals, including pregnant women, neonates, and immunocompromised people
- Hepatitis B vaccine: not recommended for patients with an anaphylactic reaction to Baker's yeast
- MMR vaccine: contraindicated in pregnancy, severe immunodeficiency, and anaphylactic reaction to gelatin, eggs, or neomycin
Antihistamines
- Histamine-1 (H1) antagonist: produces a selective blockade of H1 receptors, used for treatment of seasonal allergies, motion sickness, and insomnia
- Histamine-2 (H2) antagonist: produces a selective blockade of H2 receptors, used for treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers
- Adverse reactions: sedation, dizziness, constipation, dry mucous membranes
- Brand names: Benadryl, Bromfed, DM, Phenergan, Vistaril, Zyrtec, Allegra
- Contraindications: children under 2 years of age, pregnant women, breastfeeding, and older adults should be used with extreme caution
