| Type of HS where symptoms of allergy appear 48 hours or more after exposure to allergen. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Type of HS that involves a T-lymphocyte reaction. |
|
|
Term
Anaphylactic reaction
Arthus reaction
Auto-immune reaction |
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Is due to many exposures to same antigen and can stimulate excess IgE production in some people. |
|
|
Term
| IgE attach to epitope, which then attach to mast cells. Each successive exposure to allergen causes more IgE-epitope to attach to mast cells causing them to burst, releasing histamine and causing inflammation. |
|
Definition
| What happens when excessive IgE is produced in anaphylactic reactions. |
|
|
Term
Skin
Respiratory Tract
Internally through ingestion
Systemic |
|
Definition
| Where contact with allergen can occur causing inflammation. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Symptoms of inflammation when allergen makes contact with the skin. |
|
|
Term

Definition
| Symptoms of inflammation when allergen is ingested. |
|
|
Term

death |
|
Definition
| Symptoms of inflammation when allergen is systemic. |
|
|
Term
