Allergic Drug Reactions

1.2K
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...

Antibody Structure

Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...

Hypersensitivities

4.2K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Infant anaphylaxis incidence is increasing, yet literature has significant gaps.
  • Accurate incidence and prevalence data for infant anaphylaxis are lacking.
  • Food allergens are the most frequently reported triggers in infants.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review recent literature on infant anaphylaxis.
  • Discuss epidemiology, diagnosis, management, and prevention.
  • Highlight challenges in infant anaphylaxis recognition and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on infant anaphylaxis.
  • Analysis of findings related to infant anaphylaxis epidemiology.
  • Synthesis of current data on diagnosis, management, and prevention.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis of anaphylaxis in infants is frequently missed or delayed.
  • Epinephrine is under-utilized and under-prescribed despite availability of infant-specific devices.
  • Concise diagnostic criteria for infant anaphylaxis are needed.

Conclusions:

  • Infant anaphylaxis diagnosis and management require improvement.
  • Increased awareness and specific guidelines are necessary for optimal infant care.
  • Timely and correct epinephrine administration is vital for infant anaphylaxis.
