Compare the pathogens discussed in the previous chapters with zoonotic pathogens. 

  • Discuss what the different characteristics are
  • Describe how they cause disease
  • Explain the transmission processes.

Disorders in Immunity

©McGraw-Hill Education

Learning Outcomes Section 14.1

Define immunopathology, and describe the two major categories of immune dysfunction.

Identify the four major categories of hypersensitivities, or overreactions to antigens.

Immune Response: A Two-Sided Coin(1)

The human immune system is powerful and intricate, with the potential to cause injury and disease

Defects in the immune system can range from hay fever to dermatitis

Abnormal immune functions are involved in:

Asthma

Anaphylaxis

Diabetes

Rheumatoid arthritis

Graft rejection

©McGraw-Hill Education

Immune Response(2)

Immunopathology: the study of disease states associated with the overreactivity or underreactivity of the immune response

Hypersensitivity or overreactivity:

Allergy and autoimmunity

Tissues are attacked by immunologic functions that cannot distinguish between self and nonself

Hyposensitivity or immunodeficiency:

Immune system is incompletely developed, suppressed, or destroyed

Hypersensitivity: Four Types

Type I: “common” allergy and anaphylaxis

Type II: IgG- and IgM-mediated cell damage

Type III: immune complex

Type IV: T-cell response

Type Systems and Mechanisms Involved Examples
I Immediate hypersensitivity IgE-mediated; involves mast cells, basophils, and allergic mediators Anaphylaxis, allergies such as hay fever, asthma
II Antibody-mediated IgG, IgM antibodies act upon cells with complement and cause cell lysis; includes some autoimmune diseases Blood group incompatibility; pernicious anemia;
