Idiosyncratic reaction

genetically related abnormal drug response

immunologic response to a drug resulting in a reaction such as a rash or anaphylaxis

Interference with natural defense mechanisms

when a drug reduces the body’s ability to fight infections

abnormality in fetal development caused by exposure to certain substances, such as drugs, chemicals, or infections during pregnancy

Type I hypersensitivity

Immediate hypersensitivity reactions. IgE antibodies: produces vasodilation, edema and the inflammatory response. bronchioles, resulting in anaphylactic shock. Respiratory, results in rhinitis and asthma. Skin results in urticaira

Type II hypersensitivity

gG or IgM antibodies. Antibody complex is fixed to a circulating blood cell causing lysis. Results in anemia

Type III hypersensitivity

aggregations of antigens and antibodies, where antibodies out number antigens forming clumps: manifested as serum sickness, urticarial, arthritis, lymphadenopathy and fever

Type IV hypersensitivity

Delayed hypersensitivity. Sensitized T-lymphocytes and macrophages. Manifests as allergic contact dermatitis, poison oak, poison ivy, reaction to jewelry, topical benzocaine, etc.
