- Difference Between Type 2 and Type 3 5. Hypersensitivity: Type 3-Examples 6. Scope of Damage of SLE-Type •Type 1: Allergic reaction •Mediated by IgE •Inflammation due to mast cell degranulation •Local symptoms: itching, rash •Systemic symptoms: wheezing •Most dangerous form is an anaphylactic reaction- systemic response-hypotension, severe bronchoconstriction •Main treatment: epinephrine reverses the effects •Type 2: Cytotoxic reaction; tissue specific (e.g. thyroid tissue) •Macrophages are the primary effectors cells involved •Can cause tissue damage or alter function •Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism)-example of altering thyroid function, but does not destroy thyroid tissue •Incompatible blood type-example of cell/tissue damage that occurs; severe transfusion reaction occurs and the transfused erythrocytes are destroyed by agglutination or complement-mediated lysis. •Type 3 is not organ specific the antibody binds to soluble antigen outside the cell surface that was released into the blood or body fluids, and the complex is then deposited in the tissues •Type 2 is organ specific •The antibody binds to the antigen on the cell surface •Rheumatoid arthritis- antigen/antibodies are deposited in the joints •Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)- very closely related to autoimmunity- antigen/antibodies deposit in organs that cause tissue damage •Facial rash confined to the cheeks (malar rash) •Discoid rash (raised patches, scaling) •Photosensitivity (development of skin rash developed 1 / 32 3 - autoimmune response 7.

- Examples of Alloimmunity
- Hypersensitivity: Type 4 as a result of exposure to sunlight) •Oral or nasopharyngeal ulcers •Hematologic disorders (hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, lymphopenia, or thrombocytopenia) •Immunologic disorders (antibodies against double-stranded DNA [dsDNA] or Smith [Sm] antigen, false-positive serologic test for syphilis, or antiphospholipid antibodies [anticardiolipin antibody or lupus anticoagulant]) •Non-erosive arthritis of at least two peripheral joints •Serositis (pleurisy, pericarditis) •Renal disorder (persistent proteinuria of >0.5 g/day or
3 g/day on dipstick or cellular casts) •Neurologic disorders (seizures or psychosis in the absence of known causes) •Presence of antinuclear antibody (ANA) •Autoimmune diseases can be familial. •Affected family members may not all develop the same disease, but several members may have different disorders characterized by a variety of hypersensitivity reactions •These include autoimmune and allergic reactions. •Associations with particular autoimmune diseases have been identified for a variety of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles or non- MHC genes. •General term used to describe when an individual's immune system reacts against antigens on the tissues of other members of the same species
Hemolytic disease of the newborn, transplant rejection, transfusion reaction •Delayed response •Does not involve antigen/antibody complexes like Types I, II and III 2 / 32 •Is T-cell mediated Example- TB Test
- Relationship be- • Organ rejection involves cytotoxicity (Type II) tween Type II and •Also, T-cells play a major role in organ rejection (Type Type IV Hypersen- IV-completely T-cell mediated) sitivity Reactions • Antigens from target cells stimulate T-cells to differentiate into cytotoxic (Type II) T-cells •These T-cells have direct cytotoxic activity along with help T-cells involved in delayed hypersensitivity (type IV).
- Differentiating Be- •Type I: Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, termed tween the Rash of atopic dermatitis, are usually characterized by widely a Type 1 vs. Type IV distributed lesions, Reaction •Type IV: contact dermatitis (delayed hypersensitivity) consists of lesions only at the site of contact with the allergen •The key determinant is the timing of the rash:
- Type I: immediate
- Type IV: delayed-several days following contact-e.g. poison ivy

- Iron deficiency anemia

- Hemolytic Anemia
- Acute Blood Loss Anemia
- Aplastic Anemia •Diagnosing anemia is beyond the scope of this course. •Important to know what these terms mean and what type of anemias they signify. •Can cause a megaloblastic anemia •Is important to know who is at-risk •Alcoholics can easily get a folate deficiency •Fatigue •Dyspnea •Peripheral neuropathy in BLE (numbness and tingling)• Risk Factors:
- Older adults
- H-pylori infection
- Affects Vitamin B-12 absorption
- Who is at-risk? •Refer back to our hypersensitivity reactions •RBCs are destroyed Why?
- Mismatched blood types-destroys RBCs (Cytotoxic Type 2)
- Autoimmune hemolytic anemia due to autoantibodies against erythrocytes that the immune system perceives as an antigen and then attacks it - Allergic reaction to a drug causes drug- induced hemolytic anemia (drug-induced hemolytic anemia). •Trauma victims who are losing blood •Diagnosis is made by blood tests and bone marrow biopsy. •AA is suspected if levels of circulating erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets are diminished: - a granulocyte count less than 500/μL,
- a platelet count less than 20,000/μL, - absolute reticulocyte count less than or equal to 40 × 109/L. 6 / 32

•When contractility is decreased, stroke volume falls, and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) increases. This causes dilation of the heart and an increase in preload. •The major risk factor in its development is long- standing hypertension •Review highlighted terms as needed

- Sometimes right-sided heart failure can occur due to left-sided heart failure due to the back-up of fluid from the left side to the right •Sometime right-sided heart failure can occur without there being left-sided heart failure; This usually occurs because the person has long-standing pulmonary issues (COPD). Patients will have classic symptoms of 9 / 32 right-sided heart failure without symptoms of left- sided heart failure:
- Right JVD distention, peripheral edema, hepatosplenomegaly
