Hypersensitivities

649
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...

Autoimmune Disorders

439
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.9K
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

843
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...

Summary

Food allergy in atopic dermatitis can trigger systemic contact dermatitis (SCD) via skin exposure to food antigens. Atopy patch tests (APTs) help identify food triggers for oral challenges, guiding management of food-triggered dermatitis.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Allergy

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis involves complex immune interactions influencing food allergy.
  • Skin exposure to food antigens can lead to contact hypersensitivity and systemic contact dermatitis (SCD).
  • Th2 immune responses and specific T cells are implicated in food-triggered dermatitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on using atopy patch tests (APTs) for identifying food triggers.
  • To discuss the role of APTs in conjunction with oral food challenges for diagnosing food-related dermatitis.
  • To inform clinical decision-making for dermatitis patients at risk of Th2 skewing.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on atopy patch tests (APTs) and their application in food allergy and dermatitis.
  • Analysis of studies correlating APT results with oral food challenges and dermatitis outcomes.
  • Synthesis of evidence regarding immune mechanisms in food-triggered dermatitis.

Main Results:

  • Atopy patch tests (APTs) can detect sensitization to food proteins implicated in systemic contact dermatitis (SCD).
  • APTs aid in selecting foods for oral food challenge, with dermatitis serving as a key outcome.
  • The phenomenon explains how ingested foods can trigger or exacerbate dermatitis in sensitized individuals.

Conclusions:

  • APTs are valuable tools for identifying food allergens responsible for SCD in dermatitis patients.
  • Shared decision-making is crucial for patients with a history of flexural dermatitis, involving discussion of food and contact allergen avoidance.
  • Identifying and avoiding food and contact allergens should be considered before initiating systemic therapy for dermatitis.
