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.
White Blood Cells
Basophilia (High Basophils)
Basophilia is when basophil count are elevated. It often signals underlying issues like MPNs, allergies, or inflammation.
Lymphopenia or Low Lymphocytes
Lymphopenia is a low lymphocyte count, weakening immunity. It increases infection risk and flags underlying issues like cancer or severe illness.
Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL Disease)
Explore the essentials of Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL). Learn about its unique genetic features, diagnosis, and current treatment strategies.
Eosinophilic Asthma
Eosinophilic asthma is a severe subtype of asthma, driven by high eosinophil levels. It often resists standard treatments and may not be allergy-related.
Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
Learn about Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) and its diagnosis, treatment with R-CHOP, and management of relapsed disease.
Dendritic Cells
Dendritic cells (DCs) process antigens & present them to T cells, triggering immune responses.
Natural Killer Cells
Natural Killer (NK) cells are vital immune cells that provide rapid defense against infections and cancer. They recognize and eliminate stressed or infected cells without prior sensitization, playing a key role in immunosurveillance.
Burkitt Lymphoma
Burkitt Lymphoma is a rare cancer affecting children and adults. Key symptoms include rapidly growing tumors, often in the jaw or abdomen.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. It offers a targeted approach with fewer side effects compared to traditional treatments, providing hope for many cancer patients
Follicular Lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma is a type of slow-growing blood cancer affecting B-cells. Learn about its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.
CAR T-Cell Treatment
CAR T-cell therapy is a revolutionary cancer treatment using engineered T-cells to target and destroy cancer cells.
