Flashcards
Immunodeficiency
Immunodeficiency
Immune system dysfunction leading to recurrent infections and increased susceptibility to disease.
Type I Hypersensitivity (Anaphylaxis)
Type I Hypersensitivity (Anaphylaxis)
A type of hypersensitivity reaction characterized by an immediate and severe response to an allergen, often involving the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators.
Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune Disease
A type of hypersensitivity reaction where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues and organs.

Study Notes
Immunodeficiency Oral Manifestations
- Five oral manifestations: ulcers (recurrent/persistent), candidiasis, periodontitis, poor healing, herpes simplex virus
Autoimmune Conditions with Oral Manifestations
- Four conditions: lichen planus, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, pemphigus vulgaris
Hypersensitivity Types
- Four types:
- Type I: anaphylaxis
- Type II: antibody-mediated
- Type III: immune complex-mediated
- Type IV: delayed (cell-mediated)
Penicillin Allergy Hypersensitivity Type
- Type I (anaphylaxis)
Delayed Hypersensitivity in Dental Nurse
- Type IV (delayed cell-mediated)
Autoimmune Diseases
- Examples: rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis
Autoimmune Disease Mechanism
- Immune system mistakenly attacks the body's tissues
Autoimmune Disease Predominance
- Women of childbearing age
Autoimmune Disease Treatment Exclusion
- Type I diabetes (not treated with immunosuppressants)
Autoimmune Disease Impact on Organs
