Hypersensitivity Disorders Flashcards

1
Q

Food-Dependent, Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis (FDEIA)

A

This occurs only when the patient exercises within 2 - 4 hours of ingesting food, but in the absence of exercise, the patient can ingest the food without any apparent reaction. This disorder appears to be more common in females than males, with the highest prevalence in the late teens to mid-30s.

Q

Difference between scleritis vs. episcleritis

A

Scleritis is differentiated from Episcleritis by symptoms of severe pain ( often described as deep and boring). Additionally, all redness of episcleral origin will blanch within 20 minutes of application of a single drop of 10% phenylephrine. 40% of patients with Scleritis also have a systemic disease like RA.

Key Fact: The mainstay of treatment for all types of Scleritis has typically been oral nonsteroidal agents, oral steroids, or oral immunosuppressive agents. Steroid eye drops are considered to be infective.

Q

Which medication that can be used as an alternative therapy in antihistamine refractory chronic urticarial is preferred in urticarial vasculitis, delayed pressure urticarial, and angioedema?

A

Dapsone

There is limited evidence on the use of dapsone in chronic urticaria, especially in neutrophilic urticarial. Dapsone is preferred in the treatment of urticarial vasculitis, delayed pressure urticarial, and angioedema. Patients on dapsone should be monitored for anemia, neuropathy, and methemoglobinemia.

Q

LTPs

A

Removal of outer layers by physical or chemical peeling leads to loss of LTPs located in the outer layer. Thus, peeling fruits makes them safe for consumption by certain individuals with LTP allergies.

Preparation of pasteurized, ultrahigh temperature treated fruit juices is NOT sufficient to make them safe for individuals with LTP fruit allergies as the fruit LTPs retain a native-like structure.

Q

FPIAP

A
  • Cow’s milk – 76 percent
  • Egg – 16 percent
  • Soy – 6 percent

Cow’s milk and soy protein-induced proctocolitis generally resolve within 6 months to 2 years of allergen avoidance, though refractory cases may be seen.

In particular, in contrast with FPIAP, infants with FPIES typically present with severe symptoms (vomiting causing dehydration, abdominal pain, fever, or voluminous watery diarrhea) beginning within hours after the ingestion of the offending antigen.

30
Q

What is the most common form of HAE?

A

Type I (85% of the cases)

Type II accounts for 15% and because of the lack of clear diagnostic criteria for HAE with normal C1 INH level, no estimates can be made regarding its overall prevalence or distribution.

Acquired C1 INH deficiency is a sporadic disease. It is relatively rare, with an estimated prevalence between 1:100,000 and 1:500,000, although many cases may not be recognized or diagnosed.

31
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Proliferation

A

PDGF, EGF, endothelin-1

32
Q

Which cytokines are upregulated in AD?

A

IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13

33
Q

The fundamental abnormality in both type I and type II HAE is a mutation of _________

A

C1 INH gene (SERPING1)

34
Q

In patients with Uveitis which location is generally the most affected?

A

Anterior uveitis accounts for about 70%, intermediate 20%, and posterior 5%-10%.

35
Q

Which agent is preferred for long-term HAE prophylaxis during pregnancy?

A

Plasma-derived C1INH is preferred if long-term prophylaxis is required

36
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Secretion

A

cytokines, chemokines, prostanoids

37
Q

A

FLG

Q
A

Yellow Hornet

42
Q
A

Bumblebee

Key Fact: Bumblebees are docile, slow, and relatively easily avoided

43
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Secretion

A

cytokines, chemokines, prostanoids

44
Q

CCR4 binds with which chemokine in skin homing?

A

CCL17/TARC

45
Q

FPIES

A

Acute: Onset of severe repetitive vomiting and/or diarrhea, lethargy, pallor, hypothermia, hypotension, abdominal distention within 1 - 3 hours after ingestion

Can occur with the reintroduction of a chronic FPIES trigger

Chronic: Intermittent, chronic vomiting, chronic watery diarrhea with blood/mucus, lethargy, pallor, weight loss, FTT

Elevated neutrophil count

46
Q
A

Fire Ant nest

47
Q

Along with IL-5, this cytokine contributes to increased survival and infiltration of eosinophils in AD?

A

GM-CSF

In chronic atopic dermatitis, monocytes have a lower incidence of spontaneous apoptosis due to increased production of GM-CSF. Along with IL-5, GM-CSF also contributes to the proliferation and survival of eosinophils.

48
Q
A

Honeybee nest

49
Q

Acute contact dermatitis caused by chromium (VI) (CrVI) has long been a recognized occupational problem, especially from exposure to?

A

Wet cement

Other sources of chromate exposure include contact with leather tanned with salts containing chromate and this has become increasingly recognized

50
Q

Linear vs. Conformational epitope

A

Linear epitope → more prolonged allergy; allergen is stable and persistent.

Conformational epitope → mild, transient allergy.

51
Q

Decreased levels of this protein have been associated with reduced water-binding capacity and increased transepidermal water losses in atopic dermatitis patients.

A

Ceramide

52
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Contraction

A

Histamine, cys-LT, kinin, prostanoid, endothelin

53
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Neurogenic Inflammation

A

Sensory nerves release S P and CGRP to act on inflammatory cells

Key Fact: Inflammatory cells release neurotrophins to act on sensory nerves.

54
Q

Acute treatment of HAE attacks

A

Plasma-derived C1INH, ecallantide, icatibant, and recombinant human C1INH

Key Fact: Plasma (solvent detergent treated) may occasionally induce an acute exacerbation of the attack, presumably because plasma contains high molecular weight kininogen in addition to C1INH. For this reason, caution is required with the use of plasma to treat an HAE attack

55
Q

There is high cross-reactivity between cow’s milk proteins with other animals’ milk from EXCEPT

A

Camel and donkey

56
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Neurogenic Inflammation

A

Sensory nerves release S P and CGRP to act on inflammatory cells

Key Fact: Inflammatory cells release neurotrophins to act on sensory nerves.

57
Q

For the highest sensitivity, the C1INH function should be measured by what type of assay?

A

The chromogenic assay

It measures the inhibition of C1s activity by C1 inhibitor. ELISA assay detects the complexes formed between C1INH and C1r or C1s following activation of C1.

58
Q
A

Yellowjacket nest

59
Q

Which characteristic is typical of polymorphic eruption of pregnancy (PEP), also called pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP)?

A

Dermatitis begins as erythematous papules within abdominal striae with periumbilical sparing that then spread to the extremities and coalesce into urticarial plaques. Lesions can be target-like and usually spare the face, palms, and soles.

Of note, because of limited safety data, only loratadine and cetirizine are currently

recommended for use in pregnancy.

60
Q

Airway smooth muscle:

Proliferation

A

PDGF, EGF, endothelin-1

61
Q

In Th2 driven skin disease such as atopic dermatitis, increased IL-4 and IL-13 can contribute to increased risk of infection through which mechanism?

A

Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 suppress keratinocyte production of defensins and cathelicidins. This is thought to play a role in the increased susceptibility to infections seen in Th2 mediated skin disease ie atopic dermatitis.

62
Q

Which condition is characterized by fever, urticarial, and monoclonal gammopathy?

A

Schnitzler syndrome

Schnitzler syndrome is a rare systemic disorder in patients with monoclonal IgM or IgG (monoclonal gammopathy). Patients have associated symptoms of fever, weight loss, bone pain, adenopathy, and urticaria thought to be secondary circulating immune complexes and complement activation.

63
Q

In skin-homing, 1,25(OH)2D3 and IL-12 increase expression of which E-selection ligand on lymphocytes?

A

CLA

In skin draining regional lymph nodes, 1,25(OH)2D3 and IL-12 induce expression of the E-selectin ligand cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) on effector T cells. Along with other home signals (CCR4, CCR8, CCR10) CLA direct migration of effector T cells to the skin.

64
Q

What is the treatment for eczema herpeticum also called Kaposi varicelliform eruption?
