Hypersensitivities

491
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...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

343
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.

Development of Immunocompetence01:22

Development of Immunocompetence

282
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

2.6K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

897
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Summary

Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) can present as severe early-onset allergies, not just infections. Recognizing these allergic symptoms is key for timely diagnosis and treatment of immune deficiencies.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Allergy

Background:

  • Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), or primary immunodeficiencies, are genetic disorders impacting immune system development and function.
  • While infections are typical, IEIs increasingly manifest with severe early-onset atopy (eczema, food allergies, asthma), often leading to delayed diagnosis.
  • Delayed diagnosis in IEI patients increases risks of severe infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs) that present with early-onset severe atopy.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing severe atopy as a potential indicator of underlying immune deficiency.
  • To emphasize the need for early diagnosis and genetic testing in patients with atypical allergic diseases.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search for IEIs presenting with early-onset severe atopy.
  • Review of clinical features associated with these IEIs.
  • Discussion of diagnostic implications and treatment considerations.

Main Results:

  • Certain IEIs characteristically present with early-onset, persistent, and severe atopic dermatitis, food allergies, and refractory asthma.
  • Severe atopy can be an early sign of immune deficiency, especially with concurrent infections, growth issues, or autoimmunity.

Conclusions:

  • Severe early-onset atopy should prompt consideration of underlying Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEIs).
  • Early diagnosis and genetic testing are crucial for patients with treatment-resistant or atypical allergic conditions.
  • Timely identification of IEIs enables appropriate management and reduces risks of severe infections.
