What are normal hemoglobin levels? Women: 12-16 g/dL
Men: 13.5-18 g/dL
What are normal hematocrit levels? Women: 36-48%
Men: 40-54%
What are normal WBC levels? 5,000-10,000 cells/mm3
What are normal platelet counts? 150,000-400,000/mm3
General overview of Type I reactions Allergic Reactions, IgE mediated, fast onset
Second exposure to the allergen causes mast cells to release
histamine
QUICK
, What hypersensitivity reaction(s) need Type 1, Type 2, Type 4
"priming" or contact with antigen before?
Which hypersensitivity reaction can be local Type 1
or systemic?
What are examples of local conditions for a Allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, food
type 1 hypersensitivity reaction? allergies
IgE mediated
QUICK
What are the signs and symptoms of Itching (pruritis), urticaria, tissue swelling (angioedema),
anaphylaxis (Type I reaction)? laryngeal edema, bronchoconstriction, hypotension due to
vascular permeability and dilation
Why is epinephrine such a preferred Epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor, bronchodilator, and
treatment in anaphylaxis? increases heart rate
Why does anaphylaxis cause so much Bronchoconstriction and laryngeal edema
breathing (airway) problems?
What are some important facts about Type Mediated by IgG or IgM
II hypersensitivity reactions?
Cytotoxic reaction
Attack of an cell
What is the most common Type II Blood Compatibilities
hypersensitivity reaction?
**Needed for Blood Transfusions
What are important facts about Type III Antigen-Antibody complexes lodged in blood vessels
hypersensitivity reactions?
Chemotaxis causes inflammation leading to possible vessel
and tissue damage
What is an example of a Type II Glomerulonephritis (complexes lodged in glomeruli)
hypersensitivity reaction?
What are important facts about Type IV Cell-Mediated
hypersensitivity reactions?
Sensitized T-Cells exposed to an immunogen
Two Types: Direct & Delayed
What is an example of a Type IV reaction? Contact Dermatitis (poison ivy)
What are important facts about Direct Type CD8 Cells directly kill the APC cell cells (cell expressing the
IV hypersensitivity reaction? antigen)
When a virus is involved, sometimes infected (but not injured)
cells are killed as well
What are important facts about Delayed Response to an antigen involves CD4 cells and macrophages
Type IV hypersensitivity reactions? (KNOW ABOUT CD4)
Takes 48-72 hours
