Summary Introduction
To answer:
The type of hypersensitivity reaction carried by the each of the boys with Bruton-type agammaglobulinemia and DiGeorge syndrome, who had a bee stung and fallen into poison ivy pit.
Introduction:
The hypersensitivity is the body’s defense mechanism to an allergen, autoimmunity, and venom. The allergen can be of pollen, mold, and chemicals. The poison ivy, bee-stung injects venom into the body. There are totally five types of hypersensitivity depending upon the state of the allergen.

A 35- year old farmer stepped on a rusty nail and does not remember the last time he had a tetanus shoe. For maximum treatment, he was given a Tetanus toxoid vaccine and tetanus immune globulin. What type of immunity would this treatment confer to the farmer? (Two answers)
Elena is an 8-year-old girl with a history of asthma and allergy to bee stings. She has been brought to the clinic complaining of a throat infection. Her health care provider prescribes a course of penicillin to manage her current infection and cautions her parents to watch her closely for a reaction.
1. Explain the role of IgE and mast cells in type I hypersensitivity reactions at the cellular level.
2. With the release of histamine, what changes will occur at the cellular and tissue levels?
3. What manifestations will be exhibited as a result of the histamine release?
When the patient's mother expresses concern about his sister being reinfected with chickenpox, what is the most appropriate response?
A) Your concerns are valid, but his sister developed an active natural immunity to chickenpox because she has already been infected.
B) Your concerns are valid and there is a high likelihood that his sister will become infected again. We should probably administer the vaccine.
C) Your concerns are valid and there is no way to protect his sister from becoming reinfected except to keep her at least 15 feet from your son at all times.
D) Your concerns are valid and if his sister is reinfected, her symptoms will be less severe than her initial chickenpox infection.

- What is different about a type IV hypersensitivity reaction versus the other three types?arrow_forwardAt 5 months of age, Christina Kitchenman was admitted to the hospital with a fever and a severe non-productive cough that was subsequently determined by immunofluorescence staining to be pneumocystosis, a form of pneumonia caused by an opportunistic yeast-like fungus. Her CD4 T-cell count (220 μl –1) was much lower than expected, at only one-third of her CD8 T-cell count (650 μl –1). Her B-cell count was slightly higher than normal. An immunodeficiency was suspected, so T-lymphocyte functionality tests were carried out, proving that Christina’s T cells did not respond to a specific antigen stimulus involving tetanus toxoid as a recall antigen, even though she had received routine vaccination for tetanus (DPT vaccine) several months previously. Normal T-cell proliferation responses, however, were detected upon exposure of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to either the plant lectin mitogen phytohemagglutinin or to allogeneic B lymphocytes.
