I came here assuming this is a term widely used to describe a form of mental disorder, but can't find anything relating to it. Is that because it's not an "official term"? Thanks. 79.238.218.188 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC).
i was to believe that an immune response that targetted the bodies own tissues was an autoimmune disease, not neccesarily a hypersensitivity reaction. perhaps it should be clearer what the relationship between the two are? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaotic rach (talk • contribs)
I just changed the mediator for V from T cells to IgM/IgG (complement), as from what I can tell, that's what it should be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.80.123.36 (talk) 00:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
A Hypersensitivity reaction is any harmfull inapropriate response of the immune system, the article is correct type 5 is receptor mediated as both diseases stated attack the recepters, Autoimmune disease is a wide array of diseases and falls in many types of Hypersensitivities not just type 5, eg: Autoimmune diabettes is CD 4 mediated and is Hypersensitivity type 4, lupus is IgG and IgM mediated wich forms immune complexes (type3) but good pastures disease and primary billary Cirrhosis are also IgG and IgM mediated but only attack the tissue directly and do not form complexes and do not deposit (type 2). myesthemia and graves only attack receptors and would be classified under type 5. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.2.126.176 (talk) 20:43, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
It was my understanding that farmer's lung (hypersensitivity pneumonitis) was classically thought to be a type III hypersensitivity, although more recent research (Allergy Asthma Proc. 2007 Jan-Feb;28(1):25-7) has shown type IV hypersensitivity as having an important role. Should the link to farmer's lung be moved down to either type III or type IV? Jprawn 19:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
I thought there is a distinction btwn type 2 cytotoxic and noncytotoxic. Please confirm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkjazzer (talk • contribs) 20:55, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't Fibromyaliga be listed under this type? I know there is still a lot that is unknown about Fibromyalgia, but it seems this would be the appropriate category to list it as it does cause hypersensitivity to temperature and touch. Angelmunchkin04 (talk) 19:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
In the article (Rajan TV (July 2003)) granuloma was described as type V hypersensitivity! Nothing about autoimmune reactions! Could anybody refer some adequate article, please?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.93.178.79 (talk) 00:41, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Im an intern Immunotechnologist and during my studies I have heard that they have created a Hypersensitivity type VI group. still being a delayed T-cell dissorder but specificaly with CD-8 and NK cells removing them from Hypersensitivity type IV group.
This would specificaly effect; a poison ivy contact dermatitis as it is a CD8 regulated respons as the lipid component is presented by MHC 1 (contact dermatitis' regulated by CD4 would still be Hypersensitivity type IV) but as well as tissue transplant rejections due to tissue type as it is regulated by NK and CD8 cells
(due to blood group would be Hypersensitivity type II, and chronic would be Hypersensitivity IV due to CD4 action).
Is this completely false or is it true, and can you recomend any relivant articles? and if it is true is this page not out dated. Thanks
(and as far as I know farmers lung is a Hypersensitivity type III, but can move into a chronic phase forming Granulomas and becoming a Hypersensitivity type IV, not a type II as this disease is mediated by IgG and IgM not IgE)
If i want to remain only with th imunity and hence want abstain medicine its possible for me but am needing a very good ness of a will power . I am needing to keep a good contact with immunity which i am born with . Thus i could keep th metabolism not needing to urge for activity . ...... In case someone other than my own self reads this then i humbly request to consider th fact that i am not a man of medicine rather its just common-sense about some facts which my self got confirmed by my personal experience . So i may using this rest fullness of metabolism in sense other than it stays in its own particular ...... Whatever . Thatsit . Here by me . I have created this page basically for my own reasoning . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99sad (talk • contribs) 18:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
The Coombs and Gell classification is from 1963. There has been a LOT of new research, for example food reactions mediated by immunoglobulin free light chains and innate immune reactions to gluten.
I'm thinking there is a need for a Food Hypersensitivity article. "Food hypersensitivity" is an umbrella term for adverse reactions to food, whether immune reactions or non-immune reactions. Food hypersensitivity includes "food intolerance", i.e. food reactions that do not involve the immune system - and immune reactions to food, which include innate immune responses, acquired IgE reactions to food and acquired non-IgE reactions to food.Puffysphere (talk) 13:17, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
I have added the medref template to this article. There was a bit of an edit war going on the main page of this article and I have removed those comments from the main page. Those discussions should occur on the talk page and should never make their way to the articles main page.
For such a fundamental concept in immunological research it is completely unacceptable that this article only has ~6 references of which 3 are text book references and none of the research references are newer than 2003. This article requires considerably more research literature referencing whether that is from research or review articles in the literature. For the editor that added Tau et al.: that is a text book citation and thus does not alone meet the burden of evidence to full support your statements. –TheIguana (talk) 18:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)reeee
Doc James, this is an extremely important article which needs a cleanup. I'm not quite sure if there is a formal way of making this request, but would it be possible to please have a WP:MED task-force give this article the TLC it deserves? Thanks in advance!

I believe the article needs to have separate subtopics describing each hypersensitivity class, just having the table may not be enough to clarify certain information. The article will improve with details regarding the pathophysiology of each hypersensitivity class and how to differentiate different classes with similar symptoms. This will push the article from the start class to a higher class.
