An Arthus reaction is a hypersensitivity reaction involving the in situ formation of antigen/antibody complexes after the intradermal injection of an antigen.
On intradermal injection of histamine the following three reaction occurs 1. Red spot formation - due to intense capillary dilation 2. Wheal formation -due to exudation of fluid from capillaries and vanules 3. Flare formation - due to arteriolar dilation mediated by axon reflex
The needle length typically used for intradermal injections is 1/4 to 1/2 inch. This shorter length allows for precise and shallow delivery of medication into the dermis layer of the skin. It is important to use a smaller gauge needle (higher number) to reduce pain and trauma during the injection.
The three word parts in "intradermal" are "intra" meaning "within," "derm" meaning "skin," and "al" meaning "pertaining to."
The key idea to remember when considering the dilution of a solution is that the amount of solute remains constant before and after dilution. Therefore, the concentration of the solute decreases as more solvent is added. The equation C1V1 = C2V2 is commonly used to calculate the new concentration or volume after dilution.
The maximum volume for intradermal injection is 0.1 ml and the maximum volume for subcutaneous injection is 2ml.
Subcutaneous injection can be given below the skin.. Intradermal injection can be given in-between the skin and base of the hair

An intradermal injection is made into the middle layers of the skin.

You will see bump of the fluid you administered, which is called a wheal.
Pressure should not be applied to the injection site after administering an intradermal injection because it can disrupt the placement of the injected material within the dermal layer, potentially leading to improper absorption or a reduced immune response. Additionally, applying pressure may cause discomfort or bruising at the site. Maintaining the integrity of the injection area is essential for ensuring the effectiveness of the vaccine or medication administered.
If you develop a a red bumpy wheal that passes out the baseline circle you made after intradermal injection within 30 minutes then you are positive for an allergy.
