• Shortness of breath (dyspnea).
• Discomfort or decay.
• Urticaria (usually provocadada bites, medications, latex .)
• Sneezing: allergic rhinitis (or “hay fever”).

Allergies being an abnormal response of the immune system is considered that potential exists in four aspects:

• Immediate: Depending on the aforementioned antibody type E (IgE) (in urticaria and Quincke’s edema).
• Cytotoxic: With the antibodies of the IgG.
• Immune complex: IgG but also linked to form complexes immunes
• Delayed: Linked to cellular inflammation as is the responsible allergy eczema.

The substance you are allergic is called “allergen“, and the symptoms caused are defined as “allergic reactions”. When an allergen enters the body of a subject allergic, it’s immune system responds by producing large numbers of antibodies called IgE. The subsequent exposure to the allergen will result in the release of chemical mediators, including histamine, which produce the typical symptoms of allergic reaction.

Pirquet in 1905 suggests that serum sickness (a phenomenon of hypersensitivity) is directly related to the production of antibodies or antigens against serum injected, introducing the term allergy to describe the altered immune reactivity in which usually presents a strong release of histamine.
