A patient suffering from periodical attacks caused by inhalation of different flavoring substances was diagnosed with atopic bronchial asthma. IgE level was increased. This is typical for the following type of reactions:
- A. Cytotoxic reactions
- B. Anaphylactic reactions
- C. delayed-type hypersensitivity
- D. Autoimmune reactions
- E. Immunocomplex reactions
Hint
Use the raised IgE and the allergen-triggered attacks to work out which antibody-mediated hypersensitivity mechanism is involved and which cells carry that antibody.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
