Hypersensitivities

1.1K
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...

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.0K
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-I: Introduction

2.8K
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...

Autoimmune Disorders

686
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.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Allergology
  • Dermatology

Context:

  • Food allergies are increasingly recognized as occupational diseases.
  • These reactions can occur in various work environments, not just private settings.
  • Investigating occupational disease is crucial for affected individuals.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of selected food-associated occupational diseases.
  • To highlight common symptoms and at-risk professions.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis.

Summary:

  • Occupational food allergies commonly present with respiratory or cutaneous symptoms.
  • Workers in food processing, fishing, meat, bakery, and pastry industries are highly exposed.
  • Triggers include animal-derived foods, plant allergens, and additives like carmine E120.
  • Food anaphylaxis is rarely reported but remains a severe risk.

Impact:

  • Informs healthcare professionals about the spectrum of food-related occupational illnesses.
  • Aids in identifying high-risk occupations and implementing preventive measures.
  • Stresses the need for detailed exposure history and diagnostic testing for suspected cases.
