  • Urticaria Is a Skin Condition Commonly Known As Hives. It Produces an Itchy Rash That Tends to Come and Go and Can Last for a Variable Period of Time
    Hives Also known as Urticaria What is urticaria? Urticaria is a skin condition commonly known as hives. It produces an itchy rash that tends to come and go and can last for a variable period of time. The condition can be acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than 6 weeks). Most cases of urticaria have no known cause. What causes urticaria? Urticaria occurs when certain substances such as histamine are released from specific cells in the skin. This process is usually triggered by various immunologic mechanisms, most commonly involving the presee of irulatig IgE atiodies, although other pathays ay also e ioled. The ause of this iuologi triggerig is uko i the ajority of ases, ut a soeties e associated with various types of infections, chronic immunologic diseases or allergy to foods or medications. The use of intravenous dyes during some radiological tests can sometimes trigger urticaria as well. Physical urticaria is a type of urticaria that may be caused by exposure of the skin to cold, heat, pressure or rubbing. What does urticaria look like? Urticaria typically looks like a raised rash that may be a normal skin colour or pinkish or red in colour. The rash may occur anywhere on the body and often starts off as small round spots that quickly enlarge and spread. The rash can be very itchy but it usually only lasts for a few hours before settling, and eventually resolving completely within 24 to 48 hours. Which other problems may occur with urticaria? A viral illness can occur before urticaria develops, especially in children.

Key Clinical Message: Germline mutations in PLCG2 gene cause PLAID,APLAID,FCAS3, and CVID.Clinical experiences in patients with PLCG2 mutations led us to consider that PLAID, APLAID and FCAS3 are same diseases.It may be better to define all of them as “PLCG2 deficiency”. INTRODUCTION The PLCG2 gene which is located on the 16th chromosome (16q23.3) encodes phospholipase Cg2 (PLCG2), a transmembrane signaling enzyme that catalyzes the production of second messenger molecules utilizing calcium as a cofactor and propagates downstream signals in several hematopoietic cells (1). Recently, het- erozygous germline mutations in human PLCG2 were linked to some clinical phenotypes with some overlap- ping features|PLCg2-associated antibody deficiency and immune dysregulation syndrome (PLAID) (OMIM 614878) and autoinflammation, antibody deficiency, and immune dysregulation syndrome (APLAID) (OMIM 614878) (2-4) and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome (FCAS3) (OMIM 614468) (5).

  • Hypersensitivity in General Immune System Is Protective in Nature by Protecting Host Body from Harmful and Infectious Foreign Microorganisms
    Hypersensitivity In general immune system is protective in nature by protecting host body from harmful and infectious foreign microorganisms. But hypersensitivity is an immune disorder where immune system responds more than required and cause harmful effects in host. Hypersensitivity is defined as an exaggeration immune response that results in tissue damage in a sensitized individual on 2nd or subsequent contact with specific antigens. This condition is also called allergy. The first contact with an antigen leads to sensitization the immune system in the host for production of specific allergen produces the manifestation of hypersensitivity. This is known as shocking dose. Basing on the time required for the appearance of the hypersensitivity reactions. They are classified into two types: 1. Immediate hypersensitivity 2. Delayed hypersensitivity Peter Gell and Robert Coombs classified hypersensitivity reactions into 4 types based on the mechanism of pathogenesis: Type 1: IgE mediated hypersensitivity Type 2: Ab dependent cytotoxic hypersensitivity Type 3: Immune complex mediated hypersensitivity Type 4: Cell mediated delayed hypersensitivity The first three types of hypersensitivity reactions are mediated through the production of Antibodies and the fourth type of reaction is mediated through the production of T cells. Type 1: IgE mediated hypersensitivity It occurs in two forms anaphylaxis and atopy. i. Anaphylaxis It is an acute, fatal and systemic form of type I hypersensitivity. The allergens include antibiotics like Penicillin, antitoxin, insect venom etc. On first contact with allergen and lymphocytes are differentiated into plasma cells and produce specific Immunoglobulin IgE also called as ''Reagin antibodies'' which binds to the Fc receptors of mast cells or basophiles and sensitizes these cells that make the individual allergic to the antigen.

  • Difference Between Hypersensitivity and Autoimmunity Key Difference – Hypersensitivity Vs Autoimmunity
    Difference Between Hypersensitivity and Autoimmunity www.differencebetwee.com Key Difference – Hypersensitivity vs Autoimmunity Autoimmunity is an adaptive immune response mounted against self-antigens. In simple terms, when your body is acting against its own cells and tissues, this is called an autoimmune reaction. An exaggerated and inappropriate immune response to an antigenic stimulus is defined as a hypersensitivity reaction. Unlike autoimmune reactions that are triggered only by the endogenous antigens, hypersensitivity reactions are triggered by both endogenous and exogenous antigens. This is the key difference between hypersensitivity and autoimmunity. What is Hypersensitivity? An exaggerated and inappropriate immune response to an antigenic stimulus is defined as a hypersensitivity reaction. The first exposure to a particular antigen activates the immune system and, antibodies are produced as a result. This is called sensitization. Subsequent exposures to the same antigen give rise to hypersensitivity. Few important facts regarding the hypersensitivity reactions are given below They can be elicited by both exogenous and endogenous agents. They are a result of an imbalance between the effector mechanisms and the countermeasures that are there to control any inappropriate execution of an immune response. The presence of a genetic susceptibility increases the likelihood of hypersensitivity reactions. The manner in which hypersensitivity reactions harm our body is similar to the way that the pathogens are destroyed by immune reactions. Figure 01: Allergy According to the Coombs and Gell classification, there are four main types of hypersensitivity reactions. Type I- Immediate Type/ Anaphylactic Mechanism Vasodilation, edema, and contraction of smooth muscles are the pathological changes that take place during the immediate phase of the reaction.

It is caused by haemoprotozoan of the Theileria genus, transmitted by hard ticks and which possesses a complex life cycle. The clinical course of the disease ranges from benign to lethal, but subclinical infections can occur depending on the infecting Theileria species. The main clinical and clinicopathological manifestations of acute disease include fever, lymphadenopathy, anorexia and severe loss of condition, conjunctivitis, and pale mucous membranes that are associated with Theileria-induced immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia and/or non-regenerative anaemia.
