hypersensitivitet

Also known as hypersensitivity reaction disease, GO:0002524

Hypersensitivity (also called hypersensitivity reaction) is an immune response characterized by mechanisms that cause significant tissue damage or physiological dysfunction, whether directed against pathogens, harmless environmental antigens, or self-antigens that is reproducible upon re-exposure to the antigen. While hypersensitivity mechanisms can sometimes serve protective functions (such as control of infectious diseases), they are distinguished by their capacity to cause collateral tissue damage that may exceed any protective benefit. Collectively, hypersensitivities are extremely common:

Hypersensitivitet refererar till oönskvärda (skadande, obehagsproducerande och ibland dödliga) reaktioner producerade av det normala immunförsvaret. Hypersensitivitet kräver ett för-sensitiserat immuntillstånd hos värden. Klassificering i fyra grupper gjordes av och år 1963. Hypersensitivitet, även kallad överkänslighet, uppkommer när stimuli för olika organ har blivit förhöjda. De mest drabbade områdena är slemhinnorna i luftvägarna, eller mag-tarmkanalen. Hypersensitivitet påminner väldigt mycket om allergi i allmänt språkbruk, men när man kommer till det medicinska skiljer man de båda åt. Anledningen är att allergi klassas som en gren till hypersensitivitet.
