What Are Allergies and Hypersensitivities?

Allergies, also referred to as hypersensitivities, are abnormal immune responses triggered by specific substances known as allergens. These reactions occur when the immune system mistakenly identifies harmless substances as threats, leading to a range of symptoms.

Types of Hypersensitivity Reactions

Hypersensitivities are classified into four distinct types, depending on which components of the immune system are involved and the time frame in which symptoms appear. This classification helps guide diagnosis and treatment strategies tailored to the individual’s immune response.
