Food Allergy and Food Intolerance: specific versus innate immunity
نویسنده
چکیده
Contemporary physicians recognize a distinction between immediate and delayed-type altered reactions in their nomenclature by applying the terms, “intolerance” or “sensitivity” in the case of common reactions to foods and other chemicals, where symptom onset is delayed and typically of a less acute nature than that which has come to be known as a “true” allergy, classical allergy, or Type I hypersensitivity, according to the Gell and Coombs classification system.

Background In clinical practice we often face serious food allergy diagnostic and therapy problems because there are no specific clinical markers of allergic reactions to food. The problem is that adverse reactions to food could be caused by different mechanisms, for example sensibilisation to food allergens and food additives by food allergy. Besides, adverse reactions to food develop by diffe...
متن کاملCutaneous Adverse Reactions to Foods in Dogs and Cats
Food allergy (food hypersensitivity) is the term used to describe the clinical disease induced by food ingestion in which there is an immunological reaction. The immunological reaction is usually associated with dietary water-soluble glycoproteins that have molecular weights ranging from 10,000 to 70,000 kD. Food intolerance is the term used for a non-immunological abnormal physiological respon...
