How do you know if you have human seminal plasma hypersensitivity?
Signs and symptoms of semen allergy include redness, burning and swelling where the semen has contacted the skin, usually in the outer genital area. Some people may have a systemic response, including hives, itching and difficulty breathing. If you experience these signs and symptoms, see your doctor.
What is seminal plasma hypersensitivity?
Abstract. Human seminal plasma (HSP) hypersensitivity is defined as a spectrum of systemic and/or localized symptoms after exposure to specific protein components in seminal plasma. The major antigen is believed to be prostate-specific antigen, but other proteins are likely involved in this heterogenous disorder.
What is the most severe hypersensitivity reaction?
The most severe form is called anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock. Allergic reactions occur more often in people who have a family history of allergies.
What is hypersensitivity vasculitis?
Hypersensitivity vasculitis is an extreme reaction to a drug, infection, or foreign substance. It leads to inflammation and damage to blood vessels, mainly in the skin. The term is not used much currently because more specific names are considered more precise.
What is human seminal plasma?
Seminal plasma is a complex fluid comprised of secretions from all organs or tubules of the seminal tract (bulbourethral glands, seminal vesicles, prostate, vasa deferentia and epididymides) and from the seminiferous tubules in the testicles.
What are the 4 types of hypersensitivity disorders?
The four types of hypersensitivity are:
- Type I: reaction mediated by IgE antibodies.
- Type II: cytotoxic reaction mediated by IgG or IgM antibodies.
- Type III: reaction mediated by immune complexes.
- Type IV: delayed reaction mediated by cellular response.
What type of hypersensitivity is lupus?
SLE is a prototype type III hypersensitivity reaction. Local deposition of anti-nuclear antibodies in complex with released chromatin induces serious inflammatory conditions by activation of the complement system.
What is a type of anaphylactic reaction?
Type I or anaphylactic reactions: Type I reactions are mediated by proteins called IgE antibodies produced by the immune system. These are produced in response to the allergens such as pollen, animal dander or dust mites, or even certain foods.
