CLINICAL APPROACH, 4TH EDITION COMPLETE NEWEST
VERIFIED VERSION
1.Agammaglobulinemia - answer The absence of, or severely reduced levels of
antibodies in serum.
2.Allergens - answer A substance that provokes an allergic response.
3.Allergy - answer The altered, usually exaggerated, immune response to an
allergen. (hypersensitivity)
4.Allograft - answer Relatively compatible tissue exchange between nonidentical
members of the same species.
5.Anaphylaxis - answer The unusual or exaggerated allergic reaction to an
antigen that leads to severe respiratory and cardiac complications.
6.Antihistamines - answer A drug that counters the action of histamine and is
useful in allergy treatment.
7.Asthma - answer A type of chronic allergy in which the airways become
constricted and produce excess mucus in reaction to allergens, exercise, stress,
or cold temperatures.
, 8.Atopy - answer Allergic reaction classified as type I, with a stong familial
relationship; caused by allergens such as pollen, insect venom, food, and
dander; involves IgE antibody; includes symptoms of hay fever, asthma, and skin
rash.
9.Autograft - answer Tissue or organ surgically transplanted to another site on
the same subject.
10.Autoimmune Disease - answer The pathologic condition arising from the
production of antibodies against autoantigens. Ex: rheumatoid combination.
11.Desensitization - answer A therapeutic exposure to known allergens designed
to build tolerance and eventually prevent allergic reaction.
12.Graft vs Host Disease - answer A condition associated with a bone marrow
transplant in which T cells in the transplanted tissue mount an immune response
against the recipient's (host) normal tissues.
13.Histamine - answer A cytokine released when mast cells and basophils
release their granules. An important mediator of allergy, its effects include
smooth muscle contraction, increased vascular permeability, and increased
mucus secretion.
14.Host Rejection of Graft - answer Antibodies form against the transplanted
tissue, and contribute to damage that results in the destruction of the vascular
supply and death of the graft.
15.Immunodeficiencies - answer Immune function is incompletely developed,
suppressed, or destroyed.
