immune response serves 3 functions
Surveillace
defense
hemostasis
Natural immunity
Exists with out prior contact w/ an antigen
acquired immunity
the development of immunity either active or passive
active aquired immunity
infection by disease or by IZ's
passive aquired immunity
Body recives antibodies rather then making them.
Transfers across placenta. injected with globulins.
short lived because host did not make them.

provide immunity against interacellular viruses, tumors, and fungi.
categorized into t helper, t suppresor, and t killer.

nsaids apap chemo
hypersensitivity rxn's
immune response over reactive to foreign antigen
type 1
anaphylatic
type 2
cytotoxic
type 3
immune complex rxn
type 4
delayed hypersensativity rxn
anaphylatic rxn
specific allergies
produces igg antibodies which cause allergic responce
systemic rxn
proggressive
edema, hives, bronchial edema, resp distress, shock, death.
mild type 1 rxn
rash, hives, itching, rhinitis, conjunctivits
nursing interventions for mild syptoms
calm pt, identify allergen, scrape stinger off, or calamine lotion, monitor, admin antihistamines
moderate to sever type 1 rxn
swelling, sob, wheezing, fever, apprehension, anxiety, n/v, dizzy, cp, shock, unconsciouness.
anaphylaxis
emergency, systemic, ige releases histamine, minutes of exposure, airway obstruction
allergins that cause anaphlatic shock
pcn, insulin,
tcn chemo drugs, nsaids sulfa asa eggs, nuts, latex, peanuts, iodine, blood products, venom etc..
management
airway, scrape of stinger, 911, acute care, epi q 20 min prn, 02, lay down elevate legs, keep warm, benadryl, bp, fluids, vs, loc cardiac rhythm.
hypersensativity medical managment
cbc/diff ige serum, skin test, decongestants, antihist, allergy shots.
pt teaching
avoid allergens, med alert bracelet, epi pin, use of meds, prep house.
lupus
chronic inflammatory. multisystem microvascular inflammation. affects skin, joints, vessels, kidneys, heart, lungs, cns.
systemic lupus sle
decreased ablity do differntiate between foreign and self. immune system over reacts/ reacts to self.
trigger; inflammation
injury to tissue
pain
3 types of lupus
discoid; skin only
sle; most serious
drug induced; p use of hydralizine or procanimide
sle
effects; brain, lungs, pelura, pericardium, heart, kidneys.
lupus
etiology unk. 10-15 times women, r/t hormones. afro americans, asians, native americans.
lupus sx
arthralgia, anemia, rash, fatigue, seizures, alopecia
dx
most have 4 or more sx to dx plus positive ana titer.
triigers of flare ups
sun, uris, meds, menses, pg, post partum, stress.
tx
no cure. prevent and tx flares.
lupus meds
nsaids, antimalarial, corticosteriods, immunosurpressive agents, cyclosphsmide, metho, azathioprine.
multiple myeloma
plasma cell myeloma. neoplastic plasma cells infiltrate bone marrow and destroy. unk etiology/ genetic. chemical exposure. effects kidneys
tx
chemo, bone marrow transplant, cortico, thalidomide, local rad, zometa- inhibits bone reapsorption
nursing care
educate, saftey, 3-4 L h2o q day, pain, support.
diff count
# and type of wbcs in blood
anaphaltic shock
histamine released
palp lymph nodes
neck, axilla, and inguinal areas
glucocorticoids
The administration of high doses of glucocorticoids is associated with increased susceptibility to infection and delayed wound healing
IgE
: IgE is the class of immunoglobulin which leads to the development of allergy of the hypersensitivity type (
anaphylaxis tx
Common emergency treatment of anaphylaxis is oxygen, sub-q epinephrine, IV aminophylline and IV benadryl
blood transfusion stop if;
Signs of a transfusion reaction include headache, back or flank pain, hematuria, sharp chest pain, nausea and vomiting, tachycardia, hypotension, and urticaria. Transfusions of as little as 100 mL of incompatible blood can result in permanent renal damage, shock, and death. Therefore, the initial reaction to any symptom which could be a transfusion reaction is to stop the blood, complete assessment of the patient's condition, then immediately call the physician .
immune system
* Made up of various organs and cells which act together to protect the body from invading organisms.

* Bone Marrow - where WBCs are made

* Thymus - incubator for T-cells

* Spleen - major central storage depot for WBCs

* Lymph nodes - local storage for WBCs
ab mediated immunity
* IgG - Most abundant immunoglobulin
o Can cross the placenta and is responsible for immunity in the newborn

* IgA -present in body secretions
o Defends mucus membranes of the GI and Respiratory Tracts
o Helps to protect against respiratory infections

* IgM -Second in abundance
o First to appear in fetal life
o Important in a primary infection

* IgE - Responsible for some allergic responses
o Binds to Basophils and mast cells
o Responsible for Immediate (Type I) hypersensitivity

* IgD - Possible a regulatory antibody
nursing intervention multiple myloma
* Increase fluid intake to help get rid of excess serum calcium and Bence Jones proteins

* Analgesics for pain

* Watch for s/s of renal failure

* IV N/S at high rate along with Lasix can help increase renal secretion of calcium

* Encourage ambulation to slow down bone resorption of calcium

* Watch for S/S of spinal cord compression

* Treat anemia

* Watch for infection
Basophils and Tissue Mast Cells
* Responsible for Inflammatory and Anaphalatic Responses

* Secrete the following Substances
o Heparin
o Histamine
o Serotonin
o Kinins
o Leukotrienes
o Prostoglandins

* Are activated by binding with IgE
