Sensitization develops slowly requiring repeated exposures to a specific allergen. Once sensitized, upon reexposure immunologically committed lymphocytes react with the allergen antigen and damage tissue by direct toxic effects or through the release of cytokines, which activate eosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages and killer cells.

Type IV reaction, a summary of the intradermal tuberculin injection. Type IV reaction: granulomatous hypersensitivity. This phenomenon was first observed in by Jenner in response to cowpox reinoculation and was later developed by Koch and Von Pirquet in response to tuberculosis. Robert Kock in injected Tubercle bacilli into Rabbit. The rabbit developed signs and symptoms after 2 — 3 weeks as follows When later on, this immunized Rabbit was exposed to tuberculous bacilli.
He showed only induration after 24 hours, and peak reaction was between 48 to 72 hours. It gives an idea of immunization or the status of immunization and the possibility of active tuberculous disease. These events can be summarized:. Type I hypersensitivity reactions are immediate allergic reactions e. Type II hypersensitivity reactions are referred to as cytotoxic, as they involve antibodies that are specific to particular tissues within the body and cause destruction of cells in these tissues e.
Type III hypersensitivity reactions are immune complex-mediated , with tissue damage caused by antigen - antibody complex deposition e.
Type IV hypersensitivity reactions e. Unlike true hypersensitivity reactions, which occur after sensitization , nonallergic hypersensitivity reactions e. Type IV : delayed T-cell mediated. Drugs can cause all four types of hypersensitivity reactions. Type I is Fast and Furious. Contact prevention and avoidance of offending agents is the best treatment for allergies.
IgM and IgG mistakenly bind to surface antigens of the cells in the body , which results in:. Type II is cytoxic and consists of 2 components antigen and antibody. Type IV hypersensitivity reactions involve two major steps:. Contact dermatitis due to poison oak , poison ivy , or poison sumac is the most likely cause in a patient presenting with itching, burning, red skin lesions arranged in a linear pattern appearing 24 hours after a camping trip.
