IMMUNOPATHOLOGY
HYPERSENSITIVITY
BY GOMATHI.M
IMMUNOPATHOLOGY
0 Defects or malfunction in either innate or acquired

immune response provokes the illness or disease.

0 Overactive immune response-Hypersensitivity
0 Inappropriate reaction to self-autoimmunity
0 Ineffective immune response-immunodeficiency
HYPERSENSITIVITY
0 Undesired immune response
0 Hypersensitivity is a state existing in a previously

sensitized individual which leads to tissue damage on
later exposure to the allergen.

0 It depends on the individual.
HISTORY
0 2000 years ago, Lucretius states that “Differences are so

great that one man’s meat is another man’s poison”.

0 Paul Poiter and Charles Richet- Pysalia the jelly fish-

aqueous glycine extract administered to 5 dogs but they
didn’t die. But after the second dose immediately reacted
with illness, vomiting, diarrhea, asphyxia and died within
few minutes.
0 Hence they coined this overreaction as anaphylaxis.
0 Awarded Noble Prize in physiology or medicine in 1913 .
0 1st exposure-sensitization
0 2nd exposure- shocking dose
0 Anaphylaxis- without protection rather than an

anamnestic (non forgetting) protective response.

0 Anaphylaxis :
0 humoral immunity – immediate hypersensitivity
0 Cell- mediated immunity – delayed-type hypersensitivity.
CAUSES OF HP DISEASES
0 Reaction against environmental antigens – production

of IgE antibodies cause allergic reactions.

0 Reaction against microbes
0 Autoimmunity
CLASSIFICATION OF
HYPERSENSITIVITY
0 In 1960s Gell and Coombs classified it into 4 types .
0 Type I – Immediate anaphylaxis
0 Type II – antibody – dependent cytotoxic hypersensitivity
0 Type III – Immune complex-mediated cytotoxicity
0 Type IV – delayed type hypersensitivity
TYPE I HYPERSENSITIVITY
0 CHARACTERISTICS:
0 occur quickly after 2nd exposure to the antigen or allergen
0 Inflammation reaction consists of accumulation of basophils,

eosinophils, neutrophils, Th2 cells
0 IgE mediated response
0 Antigens – plants, foods, drugs, insect products, mold
spores, animal hair, foreign serum, vaccines
0 Atopy:the genetic predisposition to synthesize
inappropriate levels of IgE specific for external allergens

Immunopathology, diagnosis, and management of hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Abstract
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an inflammatory interstitial lung disease caused by a wide variety of organic
particles and certain small-molecular weight chemical compounds that provoke an exaggerated immune response in
susceptible individuals. The clinical manifestations are heterogeneous and have been classically described as acute,
subacute and chronic. The chronic form has an insidious onset over a period of months or years, with progressive
dyspnea and often evolves to fibrosis. The pathology is characterized by a bronchiolocentric interstitial mononuclear
cell infiltration, nonnecrotizing poorly formed granulomas, cellular pneumonitis and variable degrees of fibrosis.
However, morphological diagnosis of HP is complicated because the subacute/chronic forms may be difficult to
distinguish from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis/usual interstitial pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia. In
general, diagnosis of HP represents a challenge for clinicians that need to weigh a constellation of clinical, laboratory,
radiographic and (when available) pathological evidence for each patient to assess the certainty of the diagnosis. The
cornerstone of therapy is antigen avoidance. Although clinical trials are scanty, corticosteroids are usually indicated
based upon expert opinion. In this review we summarize the current evidence regarding the diagnostic criteria and
therapeutic strategies as well as the immunopathological mechanisms putatively implicated in the development of the
disease.
