HYPERSENSITIVITY
 When the body’s immune system fails to
protect itself against foreign material, and
instead, the antibodies formed irritate certain
body cells.
 An abnormal response to a drug or allergen.
 An ALLERGEN is an antigen that causes
allergic responses. (Examples
of allergens – ragweed,
penicillin, bee stings, foods,
etc.)
ANAPHYLAXIS
 severe, sometimes fatal
allergic reaction
 Antigen-antibody reaction stimulates a
massive secretion of histamine
 Symptoms – breathing problems, headache,
facial swelling, falling blood pressure,
stomach cramps, and vomiting
 Rx – adrenaline
