Type-I Hypersensitivity

Page 4: Immunology xii allergy

Basic terms

• Type-I = Early= IgE-mediated = Atopic = Anaphylactic type of hypersensitivity

• Atopy = genetic predisposition to type-I hypersensitivity diseases. It is a genetic predisposition to react by IgE production to various stimuli.

Page 5: Immunology xii allergy

Frequency of atopic diseases

• 20-30% of general population is estimated to be atopic.

• Prevalence of bronchial asthma: – General population 5-6%

– Children: 10%

• Every year 100 people die in Europe of anapylactic shock due to wasp/bee sting.

Page 6: Immunology xii allergy

Genetic aspects of atopy

• Probability of atopy in a child :– Both parents atopics: 80%, – One parent atopic: 50%, – No patent is atopic: 15%.

• Concordance of asthma in monozygotic twins: only 50-69%

Page 7: Immunology xii allergy

Candidate genes of atopic diseases

• 5q31-33 : cytokines and their receptors: IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-13

• 11q13: high affinity receptor for IgE

• 6p: HLA genes. TNF-• 1q, 4q,7q31, 12q14.3-q24.31,

14q11.2-g13, 16p21, 17q, 19q

Page 8: Immunology xii allergy

Common allergens• Pollens (grass, trees)

• House dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssimus and farinae)

• Foods: nuts, chocolate, shellfish, milk, egg, fruits

• Pets (cat, dog)

• Moulds

Regulation of IgE production

• Positive regulation: IL-4 a IL-13 – products of Th2 cells

• Negative regulation: IFN - product of Th1 cells

Mast cells

Page 16: Immunology xii allergy

Activation of mast cells

Page 17: Immunology xii allergy

Biological effects of histamin

• H1: Smooth muscle contraction, increased permeability of capillaries, vasodilatation, increased production of nasal and bronchial secretions, chemotaxis of leukocytes

• H2: increase in gastric juice production, increased production of secretions on respiratory tract

• H3: receptors present in CNS

Immediate and late phase of allergic reaction

Page 21: Immunology xii allergy

Phases of type-I hypersensitivity reaction

• Immediate phase – clinical symptons evolve in several minutes. Mediated mainly by histamin.

• Late phase – symptoms evolve after hours (6-8). Mediated mainly by leukotriens. Presence of eosinophils plays an important role in allergic inflammation.

Clinical diseases caused by atopic hypersenitivity

• Allergic conjunctivitis

• Allergic rhinitis

• Bronchial asthma

• Allgergy of gastrointestinal tract

• Urticaria and angioedema

• Atopic eczema

• Anaphylactic shock

Treatment of allergic diseases

• Allergen avoidance• Antihistaminics• Cromons (cromolyn sodium, nedocromil) -

stabilise membrane of the mast cells• Topical or systemic corticosteroids• Antilekotriens• In asthma: -2 agonists, xantins• Allergen immunotherapy (desensitisation)

Page 36: Immunology xii allergy

Diagnostic approaches in type-I hypersensitivity

• Past history

• Eosinophilia

• Skin tests

• Provocation and elimination tests

Page 37: Immunology xii allergy

Skin prick tests

Page 38: Immunology xii allergy
Page 39: Immunology xii allergy

Causes of anaphylactic shock

• Drugs - penicillins, cephalosporins, proteolytic enzymes, local anestetics

• Foods - nuts, seafood, chocolate• Allergen desensitisation, allergen

skin tests• Bee or wasp sting• X-ray contrast media

Page 40: Immunology xii allergy

Clinical symptoms of anphylactic shock

• Hypotension (systolic pressure 90 mm Hg or less)

• Tachykardia

• Dyspnea

• Abdominal pain, nausea

• Anxiety

• Urticaria on the skin, sweating, itching

• Contractions of the uterus

Page 41: Immunology xii allergy

Treatment of anaphylactic shock

• Adrenalin intravenously or intramusculary 10 g/kg repeatedly

• Antihistaminics intravenously• Syntophyllin 240 mg intravenously

or inhalation of -2-mimetics• Corticosteroids ( 200-500 mg of hydrocortisone)

intravenously• Oxygen• Vasopressor agents (dopamin or noradrenalin)
