whats happening with type 4 reactions
T Cell mediated rather than antibody mediated Local collection of lymphocytes and macrophages causes edema, induration, ischemia, and tissue damage at the site Tuberculin testing have induration and redness in 8-12 hours.(PPD) Contact dermatitis such as poison ivy. Latex allergy Insect stings. Organ transplantation rejection. Sarcoidosis-Fibrosis in lung tissue -lymphocyte reaction resulting in a delayed hypersensitivity response, causing local tissue destruction. -Type 1 diabetes falls under type V hypersensitivity because it activates a delayed reaction. -Stimulatory hypersensitivity, B-cell mediated, Autoantibodies bind to target cell and stimulate cells. Excess stimulation of a normal cell surface by an autoantibody, results in a continuous "turned-on" state for the cell. -May cause uncontrolled secretion of hormone. The feedback mechanism is lost. Ex: Grave's disease (Hyperthyroidism)--immune system disorder of the thyroid gland resulting from overactive thyroid gland -swelling of neck and profusion of the eyes.
What activates the Immune System?
The Immune System is activated by external agents. Examples: microorganism, minor cuts, surgeries & Systemic diseases
Positioning for Anaphylaxis:
The patient should be placed in a recumbent/supine position with elevation of the lower extremities and Epinephrine IM
Question: A patient who has experienced a hypersensitivity response determined to be autoimmune asks the nurse for information about this response. The nurse should include which of the following to describe the processes that differentiate the immune hypersensitivity response resulting from an autoimmune mechanism from those resulting from an allergic or alloimmune mechanism?
The trigger for an autoimmune response is a self antigen. Rationale: The primary trigger for a hypersensitive reaction is an environmental antigen. An autoimmune reaction is triggered by antigens from another individual The trigger for an autoimmune reaction is a self-antigen
Anaphylaxis:
This a life threatening allergic reaction that develops rapidly within seconds- minutes. This requires immediate Emergent action
explain what type of antigen is type 2 hypersensitive reaction
Tissue damage: may cause dyspnea or fever. Ex: Transfusion reaction, ABO incompatibility
What does type 3 for hypersensitivity look like:

what is Type I of the 5 antibodies of hypersensitivity reactions
-IgE mediated. Anaphylaxis is most severe. Allergen (can be ingested in food, injected as drugs, inhaled through the air, or absorbed through skin) -Triggered when allergen interacts with free IgE, it interacts with IgE ( antibodies) causing IgE to bind to mast cells and basophils. This antigen-antibody complex prompts release of histamine and other chemical mediators. -Ex: ragweed, pollen, food allergies-gets into nose from air ( antigen)-is presented to cells and goes to blood stream and binds to IgE. Which will then cause histamine to be released causing vasodilation-shock and anaphylaxis. Type 1 examples: Asthma, Allergic rhinitis and Eczema

-Results from the injection of antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes from another organism or infants from the transfer of antibodies through the placenta . -Can occur naturally from maternal antibodies transferred to fetus through the placenta. - is borrowed from another source, last for a short time. -when a person needs antibodies faster than the body can develop them, passive immunity is induced.. When this happens antibodies are produced in another human or animal host . Example: stepping on rusty nail-need immediate protection ( passive immunity) from tetanus, so Tetanus immunoglobulin is given. - Ex: Antibodies from mothers breast milk provide baby with protection from diseases a mother has been exposed to. This can protect the baby against infections during early years.

-involves Immune Complex mediated.: example serum sickness ( foreign serum such as horse antitetanus toxin - no longer used, but can get this in response to some drugs such as penicillin and sulfonamides) may produce fever , urticarial ( skin rash ) -These immune complexes can accumulate in the glomerular basement membrane of the kidneys following a bout with streptococcal infection or systemic lupus- developing glomerulonephritis/nephritis ( injured part of the kidneys that filters blood). ). -Type III can damage kidneys after bout with strep.
Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis (GN):
-is a disorder of the kidneys that occurs after infection with certain strains of streptococcus bacteria. -The infection does not occur in the kidneys, but in a different part of the body, such as the skin or throat. -The strep bacterial infection causes the tiny blood vessels in the filtering units of the kidneys (glomeruli) to become inflamed. This makes the kidneys less able to filter the urine -The disorder may develop 1 to 2 weeks after an untreated throat infection, or 3 to 4 weeks after a skin infection.
what is Type II of the 5 antibodies of hypersensitivity reactions
-is tissue specific reactions, Blood Transfusion reaction. -When the antibodies IgG or IgM form to a cell-bound Antigen such as ABO or RH antigen-this activation results in destruction of the target cell. Ex: RH - mother gets Rhogram to prevent Immune System from reacting to your baby blood. Prevents mother from making antibodies during her pregnancy.. It protects the fetus from its mothers antibodies. Given at 2 8 weeks in RH- mothers. -Used to prevent an immune response if baby is RH+- also given after delivery. -Ex: Hashimoto thyroiditis ( immune system attacks the thyroid) , Goodpasture syndrome( an autoimmune disorder when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue)
Plasmapheresis
-is used to treat a variety of disorders, including those of the immune system, such as Good pasture's syndrome, Gillian-Barré syndrome, lupus -similar to dialysis; however, it removes the plasma portion of the blood where the antibodies are located. Plasma is the almost clear part of the blood which carries red cells, white cells, platelets and other substances through your bloodstream. ... -blood is filtered, the red blood cells given back, and plasma is removed in sick patients to remove the auto-antibodies causing illness and sometimes death, and being replaced by fresh frozen plasma infusions.
