| | CHEST: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis reaction to Mycobacterium avium in household water |
 | | A serologic hypersensitivity pneumonitis panel comprising A. fumigatus, Micropolyspora faeni, Thymus vulgaris, and pigeon breeder's serology was negative. | | | The classification of this pulmonary response to MAC is further complicated by the increasing observations of histopathologic and bronchoscopic differences between "classic" hypersensitivity pneumonitis and MAC-associated hypersensitivity pneumonitis. | | | (6) Whether this pulmonary response to MAC represents true infection or "classic" hypersensitivity pneumonitis is controversial, as some patients improve only after antimycobacterial drug therapy, while other patients improve after corticosteroids or the removal of the exposure. |

| | Case 1: Discussion - Abacavir Hypersensitivity Reaction - Antiretroviral Rx: Adverse Effects |
| | The incidence of abacavir hypersensitivity reported in 9 clinical trials is approximately 8% (range 2-9%) [1-2]. | | | Because of the potential for life-threatening rechallenge reactions, individuals who experience hypersensitivity to abacavir must be counseled never to take this drug again. | | | Although much emphasis is placed on the importance of recognizing abacavir hypersensitivity reactions, it is equally important not to overdiagnose them. |

| | Four or five types of hypersensitivity are often described. | | | Hypersensitivity is an immune response that damages the body's own tissues. | | | The antigens recognized in this way may either be intrinsic ("self" antigen, innately part of the patient's cells) or extrinsic (absorbed onto the cells during exposure to some foreign antigen, possibly as part of infection with a pathogen). |
