Human Hypersensitivity Angiitis, An Immune Complex Disease

Captopril-induced hypersensitivity lung disease. An immune-complex-mediated phenomenon.

Captopril has not yet been included in the list of drugs causing hypersensitivity lung disease. We report a patient with hypertension, congestive heart failure, and chronic renal failure who, when rechallenged with captopril, developed upper lung field infiltrates associated with productive cough and striking peripheral eosinophilia. Gallium scan, transbronchial biopsy histologic findings, and ...

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: a complex lung disease

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP), also called extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is a respiratory syndrome involving the lung parenchyma and specifically the alveoli, terminal bronchioli, and alveolar interstitium, due to a delayed allergic reaction. Such reaction is secondary to a repeated and prolonged inhalation of different types of organic dusts or other substances to which the patient is sen...

Hypersensitivity with Recombinant Soluble Targeting Immune Complex-Mediated

Immune complex renal disease and human immunodeficiency virus infection.

Immune complex glomerulonephritis is a common diagnosis in renal biopsy series of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. There are a variety of glomerulonephritides associated with HIV infection, including IgA nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, membranous nephropathy, lupus-like glomerulonephritis, immunotactoid glomerulopathy, and fibrillary glomerulonephriti...
