OBJECTIVES cont’d----Discuss the Definition, Causes, Pathophysiology, Clinical manifestations of the following allergic disorders
•Describe the diagnostic, medical and surgical management of the below mentioned disorders.
•Apply nursing process including assessment, diagnosis, implementation and evaluation of care provided to the client with the following allergic disorders;
It occurs when the system mistakenly identifies a normal constituent of the body as foreign.
This reaction may be a result of cross-reacting antibody, possibly leading to cell and tissue damage
It involves activation of complement by IgG or IgM antibody binding to an antigenic cell.

Type III: Immune complex hypersensitivity It involves in the formation of immune complexes
when antigen binds to antibodies.
These type III complexes deposit in tissues or vascular endothelium and leads to injury with the help of vasoactive amines and the increase number of circulating complexes.
The joints and kidneys are particularly susceptible.

Type IV: Cell mediated hypersensitivity
Also known as cellular hypersensitivity
It occurs 24-72 hrs after exposure to an allergen
The reaction is mediated by sensitized T cells and macrophages.
The reaction results In tissue damage by releasing lymphokines, macrophages and lysozymes.

Definition:“It is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa by an
allergen”. (Smeltzer, 2004).
Incidence:It affects about 8-10% of U.S. population.
(Smeltzer, 2004).

Perennial Seasonal Year-round with allergic
triggers
Early spring, early fall, early summer
Sneezing, itching, watery discharge from nose and eyes
Intense symptoms triggered by air-borne pollens, house dust and animal feather.

Inhalation of an antigen (sensitization)
Re-exposure
Nasal mucosa reacts (histamine is mediator)
Slowing of ciliary action, edema formation and leukocyte infiltration
Tissue edema and increase capillary permeability (vasodilatation).
• Determine dietary and other allergen (cow milk, egg, Soya, wheat, nut, fish)
• Teach to avoid allergen
• Keep wound area moist
• Teach proper use of medicines
• Avoid scratching (wear cotton fabrics, washing with mild detergent)
• Prevent from secondary infection

AnaphylaxisDefinition:
It is an immediate life threatening systemic reaction that can occur on exposure to particular substances
It is an immediate (type I hypersensitivity) immunologic reaction, results from IgE antibody
This reaction affects many tissues and organs. Death may occur due to respiratory tract spasm and constriction or collapse.

Causes: Anaphylaxis
• Food ( peanuts, fish, milk, eggs, wheat and chocolate).
• Medications (penicillin, NSAID’s)
• Insects stings (bees, ants)

Pathophysiology: Anaphylaxis
Interaction of foreign antigen with IgE antibodies
Release of histamine
Activation of platelets, eosinophils and neutrophils
smooth muscle spasm, bronchospasm, mucosal edema and inflammation.

Mild Moderate Severe
Occurs within first 2hrs of exposure
Same Same
Peripheral tingling Flushing Broncospasm
Sensation of warmth
Itching Laryngeal edema
Fullness in mouth and throat
bronchospasm Severe Dyspnea, cyanosis
Nasal congestion Edema of larynx Hypotension

Medical management: Anaphylaxis
1. If cardiac arrest then cardiopulmonary resuscitation initiated.
2. Antihistamine to prevent recurrence reaction3. Start intravenous fluids to maintain hemodynamics.4. Give aminophylline for bronchospasm
Nursing management: Anaphylaxis
1. Assess for signs of anaphylaxis.2. Restore effective breathing 3. Reduce anxiety by reassuring the patient4. Provide oxygen, and maintain airway5. Monitor vital signs.

It is a type III hypersensitivity reaction.
The reaction result from administration of therapeutic Anti-Sera taken from animal source for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases like tetanus, rabies, diphtheria
