Summary Introduction
To answer:
The different factors that lead to type I hypersensitivity.
Concept introduction:
The hypersensitivity is the body’s defense mechanism to an allergen, autoimmunity, and venom. The allergen can be of pollen, mold, and chemicals. The poison ivy, bee-stung injects venom into the body. There are totally four types of hypersensitivity depending upon the state of the allergen.

- Why does the Center for Disease Control recommend annual screening for chlamydia? Group of answer choices: Antibiotic treatment is not effective for C. trachomatis. There is a new vaccine available that can provide immunity after exposure to C. trachomatis. The majority of chlamydia infections are asymptomatic so carriers may transmit to other unknowingly. The infection number of chlamydia cases is currently decreasing and public health organizations hope to get it to zero in the next year.arrow_forwardCase Study, Chapter 41, Medical Asepsis Toni Long, a 45-year-old white female, is admitted to acute care for pneumonia.
