Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

149
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.8K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.2K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.6K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.9K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Protein contact dermatitis (PCD) and immunological contact urticaria (ICU) are rare but significant occupational skin conditions. Diagnosis requires specific prick tests for proteins, not standard patch tests, especially in individuals with a history of atopy.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Allergology

Background:

  • Occupational contact dermatitis is typically caused by haptens, but proteins can induce immunological contact urticaria (ICU) and protein contact dermatitis (PCD).
  • PCD often presents as chronic hand eczema, while ICU involves immediate allergic reactions.
  • A history of atopy is common in patients with these protein-induced conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize protein contact dermatitis (PCD) and immunological contact urticaria (ICU) in an occupational setting.
  • To evaluate diagnostic methods for protein-induced skin conditions.
  • To identify common allergens and risk factors associated with occupational PCD and ICU.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a monocentric database of patients with contact dermatitis.
  • Identification of patients with positive skin tests to proteins.
  • Literature review to summarize characteristics of PCD and ICU.

Main Results:

  • Only 0.41% of contact dermatitis patients had positive protein skin tests.
  • Occupational PCD was diagnosed in 22 patients, non-occupational PCD in 3, and occupational ICU in 5.
  • Prick tests with protein-containing materials are crucial for diagnosis, as patch tests are often negative.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational exposure to proteins can cause chronic eczematous dermatitis (PCD) or urticaria (ICU).
  • Diagnosis relies on prick testing with suspected proteins, especially in individuals with atopy.
  • Common sources include food, plants, latex, and animal proteins, necessitating careful allergen investigation.
