Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis

92
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,...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.9K
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...

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

80
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...

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.5K
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...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management01:20

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.5K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Dermatology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Staphylococcus aureus colonization and eosinophil infiltration are linked to inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis.
  • The precise relationship between S. aureus and eosinophils in skin inflammation remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the role of S. aureus in eosinophil recruitment and activation in skin inflammation.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms by which S. aureus drives eosinophil-mediated inflammatory responses in the skin.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a preclinical mouse model of S. aureus epicutaneous exposure.
  • Analyzed chemokine production, eosinophil infiltration, and cytokine profiles (IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-36α).
  • Investigated the role of IL-36R signaling and S. aureus proteases in eosinophil recruitment.

Main Results:

  • S. aureus exposure induced eosinophil-recruiting chemokines and skin infiltration.
  • Eosinophils contributed significantly to skin inflammation, dependent on IL-17A and IL-17F.
  • IL-36R signaling promoted eosinophil recruitment via CCL7; S. aureus proteases induced IL-36α, driving IL-17-producing eosinophil infiltration.

Conclusions:

  • S. aureus proteases activate a pathway involving IL-36α and CCL7 to recruit IL-17-producing eosinophils.
  • This mechanism highlights eosinophils as key players in S. aureus-induced skin inflammation.
  • Findings offer insights into the pathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases involving S. aureus and eosinophils.
