Allergies

Would you like to know what lab results mean? DDxHub - Differential Diagnosis Hub helps to understand and explains your blood test.

Allergies are hypersensitivities, overreactions of the immune system to substances that do not cause reactions in most people. Hypersensitivities are grouped into four types, I through IV. These classifications are based, to some extent, on what parts of the immune system are activated and how long it takes for a reaction to occur. The two types of hypersensitivities commonly associated with the term "allergies" are type I immediate hypersensitivities, in which antigens (allergens, foreign substances) combine with specific IgE (immunoglobulin E) antibodies to cause local and sometimes systemic reactions, usually within minutes; and type IV delayed hypersensitivities, reactions caused by the interactions of antigens with specific sensitized T lymphocytes instead of antibodies.
