What causes delayed hypersensitivity reactions?

Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, also known as type IV hypersensitivity reactions, are caused by T cells recognizing antigens and triggering an immune response. This can happen hours to days after exposure to the antigen. Common triggers include certain drugs, metals, and infectious agents.

What does hypersensitivity?

Hypersensitivity refers to an exaggerated or inappropriate immune response to a substance, which can lead to tissue damage and various allergic reactions. It is classified into four types: Type I (immediate, such as allergies), Type II (cytotoxic, involving antibodies against cell surfaces), Type III (immune complex-mediated), and Type IV (delayed-type, involving T cells). Symptoms can range from mild reactions, like hives, to severe anaphylaxis. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to mitigate the effects of hypersensitivity reactions.

What is the term also known as hypersensitivity?

Hypersensitivity (also called hypersensitivity reaction) refers to undesirable reactions produced by the normal immune system, including allergies and autoimmunity. These reactions may be damaging, uncomfortable, or occasionally fatal. Hypersensitivity reactions require a pre-sensitized (immune) state of the host. The four-group classification was expounded by P. H. G. Gell and Robin Coombs in 1963. (Wikipedia)
