Allergy & Immunology

The subspecialty of internal medicine that involves the management of disorders related to the immune system, including allergic diseases of the eye (eg, allergic conjunctivitis), respiratory tract (eg, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and occupational lung diseases), digestive tract (eg, eosinophilic esophagitis or gastroenteritis, and food protein-induced enteropathies), integumentary system (eg, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, acute and chronic urticaria, or angioedema), adverse reactions (eg, foods, drugs, vaccines, stinging insects and other agents), primary immune deficiencies (eg, combined immune deficiency syndromes, antibody deficiencies, complement deficiency, phagocytic cell abnormalities, or other impairments in innate immunity and acquired immune deficiency), systemic diseases (eg, anaphylaxis), autoinflammatory syndromes, and stem cell, bone marrow and/or organ transplantation.

Allergy Skin Test View Slide Show

Allergy Skin Test

The detection of suspected allergy-causing substances (allergens) by introducing a microscopic amount of an allergen (eg, pollen, mold, dust mites, animal dander, and foods) to the patient's skin (usually the forearm or the back) by various means (eg, Skin prick test, Skin scratch test, Skin scrape test, Skin patch test, Intradermic test) and then observing for signs of an allergic reaction.

Autoimmune Disease

The state in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, Graves' disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, vasculitis).

HIV/AIDS View Slide Show

HIV/AIDS

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects cells of the immune system, destroying or impairing their function, leading to "immune deficiency" and "opportunistic infections". Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a term which applies to the most advanced stages of HIV infection, including more than 20 opportunistic infections or HIV-related cancers.

Hypersensitivity Reaction View Slide Show

Hypersensitivity Reaction

The condition in which the immune system reacts in an extreme way to a substance in the body, including type 1 (IgE - immediately to minutes - anaphylaxis, asthma, hives, hay fever), type 2 (IgM, IgG - minutes to hours - hemolytic anemia, cytopenias, Goodpasture's syndrome), type 3 (IgG - 6 hours - serum sickness, arthus reaction, vasculitis), type 4 (sensitized lymphocytes - delayed 12 to 48 hours - cutaneous hypersensitivity reactious, graft rejection).

Immune Response & Regulation View Slide Show

Immune Response & Regulation

The body's response caused by its immune system being activated by antigen processing and presentation in the context of MHC I and MHC II molecules (eg, TAP, beta-2 microglobulin), intracellular pathways, mechanisms by which MHC is expressed on the surface; and the regulation of immune response via antigen-antibody interaction, complements, cytokines, neuroendocrine system, etc.

Immune System View Slide Show

Immune System

The defense system comprising many biological structures and processes to protect the human body against diseases (eg, granulocytes, natural killer cells, macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, complement receptors, toll-like receptors, cytokines, chemokines, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, host defense mechanisms, host barriers to infection, innate immunity, humoral adaptive immunity, and cell-mediated adaptive immunity).

Inflammatory Response

The biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, to isolate the foreign substance from further contact with body tissues, clear out necrotic cells and tissues damaged from the original insult and the inflammatory process, and initiate reparative processes.
