Allergy • Antigens: • Endogens • Exogens: 1-drugs 2-infections 3-foods 4-physical Ag 5-contact allergens 6-inhalars • Antibodies(Ig) • IgG • IgM • IgA • IgD • IgE
Allergic reaction 1-Immediat type: • Anaphylaxis • Rhinitis allergic • Allergic bronchial asthma 2-delayed type: • Tuberculin type • Contact type • Auto allergic reaction • Graft versus host reaction
Allergic test Allergic tests contraindication • Patch test • Scratch test • Intradermal test • Asthma bronchial attack • Generalized urticaria • Rhinitis allergic……..
Etiology & pathogenesis • Mast cell degranulation • Vasodilatation and increase permeability • Wheal formation
Urticaria classification • Acuturticaria • Recurrent acute urticaria • Chronic urticaria(90%)etiology is unknown
clinical features • Localized urticaria • Generalized urticaria
Dermatographism • Sharply localized wheal and flare seconds to minutes after stroking skin. • 25% to 50% of the population
Pressure Urticaria • 3-12 hours after local pressure has been applied • feet/walking and buttocks/sitting
Solar urticaria: • Occur a few minutes to few hours after exposure to sun light. • Usually fade within 2 hours.
Cold Urticaria • Holding cold objects: hand swelling • Eating cold items: lip swelling/ oropharyngeal edema • Swimming, with total body immersion, can result in massive mediator release, resulting in hypotension • Attacks occure within minutes after exposure to change in ambient temperature or direct contact with cold objects.
Cold Urticaria • 25% patients are atopic • Desensitize: repeated colder exposures • Test: Ice cube 5-20min.
Angio-oedema • It may be associated in 50% of patients with ordinary urticaria. • Deep swelling, maybe the same colour as normal skin. • Most frequently occur on face, but any other area of the body may be affected.
Shock anaphylactic • Usually in atopics • Usually the allergen is antibiotic injection
Diagnosis & Differential diagnosis • Erythema multiform • Urticaria papulosa • UrticarialVasculitis (persist Urticaria) • BullousPemphigoid • Sarcoidosis • Most of the diseases listed above have lesions that last longer than 24 hours
Treatment • Acute urticaria • H1 blocker anti histamins sedating and non sedating • Prednisolon • Epinephrin 1mg/IM • Avoid precipitating factors • In chronic state: avoid steroid therapy.
