Overview of Allergies and Hypersensitivities

Allergies, also referred to as hypersensitivities, are exaggerated immune system responses to specific substances known as allergens. These allergens are typically harmless to most people but trigger an abnormal reaction in individuals with sensitivities.

Classification of Hypersensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivities are categorised into four distinct types. Each type is defined by the specific components of the immune system that are activated and the duration between exposure to the allergen and the onset of symptoms. This classification is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
