Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis

142
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. When IgE binds to allergens, it triggers the release of mediators– histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins from mast cells and basophils. These mediators cause vasodilation, edema, and inflammation, leading to various symptoms.The primary allergens causing anaphylaxis include food items (e.g., peanuts, shellfish), drugs (e.g., penicillin, asparaginase, corticotropin,...

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...

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview01:16

Drugs Used in Upper Respiratory Disorders: Overview

983
Upper respiratory tract disorders, including viral infections and allergic rhinitis, cause significant discomfort and disrupt daily life. Managing these conditions involves a variety of drugs, such as antihistamines, intranasal steroids, decongestants, antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics. Specific examples of drugs in each category are provided.
Antihistamines (e.g., Benadryl) block histamines from binding. Histamines are chemicals released during an allergic reaction in the body. As a...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.7K
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Asthma-I: Introduction

3.7K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Area of Science:

  • Allergology and Immunology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Local allergic rhinitis (LAR) is an emerging phenotype of allergic rhinitis.
  • It is frequently misdiagnosed as nonallergic rhinitis, impacting patient quality of life.
  • LAR affects diverse populations and is often comorbid with conjunctivitis and asthma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria for local allergic rhinitis.
  • To highlight the role of allergen immunotherapy in managing this condition.
  • To emphasize the significance of early and accurate diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis relies on clinical history.
  • Positive nasal allergen provocation tests and/or detection of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) in nasal secretions are crucial.
  • Basophil activation tests can further support the diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Allergen immunotherapy has demonstrated efficacy as an immune-modifying treatment for LAR.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for initiating appropriate treatment.
  • Early intervention can improve patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Local allergic rhinitis requires specific diagnostic approaches to differentiate it from other rhinitis types.
  • Allergen immunotherapy represents a valuable treatment option for LAR.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are vital for managing LAR and associated conditions.
