Hypersensitivity, Immediate - Physiopathology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Hypersensitivity, Immediate'Hypersensitivity reactions which occur within minutes of exposure to challenging antigen due to the release of histamine which follows the antigen-antibody reaction and causes smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability. Common names: Hypersensitivity, Immediate; Hypersensitivities, Immediate; Immediate Hypersensitivities; Immediate Hypersensitivity; Hypersensitivity, Atopic; IgE-Mediated Hypersensitivity; Hypersensitivities, IgE-Mediated; Hypersensitivity, IgE-Mediated; IgE Mediated Hypersensitivity |

The role of viruses in the development and exacerbation of atopic disease.
30 Aug 2009 
OBJECTIVE: To examine data in support of the viral hypothesis of atopic disease. DATA SOURCES: We retrieved review articles and original research from MEDLINE, OVID, and PubMed (1950-June 2009) that addressed our topic of interest, using the terms ... Read more...
Rapid desensitization for hypersensitivity reactions to medications.
30 Jul 2009 Drug desensitization is the induction of temporary clinical unresponsiveness to drug antigens to which patients have presented severe hypersensitivity reactions. It is typically achieved by gradual reintroduction of small doses of drug antigens at ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 Itching erythematous or eczematous plaques around injection sites are quite frequent side effects of heparin treatment and clinical symptoms of delayed-type non-IgE-mediated allergic hypersensitivity (DTH) to heparin. For diagnosis, intradermal, ... Read more...
