Causes of Atypical Lymphocytes (Reactive Lymphocytes)
Atypical lymphocytes are activated immune cells, often seen in infections. Their unique look aids diagnosis, but distinguishing it from cancer is important.
Hypersensitivity Reactions: Causes and Mechanisms
Hypersensitivity is an exaggerated, undesirable immune response to an antigen, causing tissue damage. It encompasses four types: IgE-mediated (allergies), cytotoxic, immune complex, and delayed cell-mediated reactions.
