Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze the reaction and types of hypersensitivity. The study discusses the reaction of hypersensitivity occurs in individuals who have previously been exposed to an antigen that has created an immune response to it (sensitization). there are 4 groups of hypersensitivity reactions, namely Type I (anaphylactic reaction), type II (cytotoxic reaction), type III (immune complex reaction), type IV (slow type reaction). Hypersensitivity reactions can occur in two situations. first, the response to foreign antigens (microbes and non-infectious environmental antigens) which can cause tissue damage, especially if the reaction is repeated and uncontrolled. Second, the immune response can act directly against self-antigens (autologs) as a result of failure to tolerate self (self-tolerance).
