background background In the developed world, about 20% of people are affected by allergic rhinitis, about 6% of people have at least one food allergy, and about 20% have atopic dermatitis at some point in time. The word "allergy" was first used by Clemens von Pirquet in 1906.

Allergies, also known as allergic diseases are a number of conditions caused by hypersensitivity of the immune system to something in the environment that usually causes little or no problem in most people. These diseases include  hay fever  food allergies  atopic dermatitis allergic asthma anaphylaxis   Definition

swelling of the skin during hives. Symptoms may include red eyes, an itchy rash, runny nose, shortness of breath, or swelling.

Medication allergy Their development is due to both genetic and environmental factors. The underlying mechanism involves immunoglobulin E antibodies(IgE), part of the body's immune system, binding to an allergen and then to a receptor on mast cells or basophils where it triggers the release of inflammatory chemicals such as histamine.

In severe reactions injectable adrenaline (epinephrine). avoiding known allergens and the use of medications such as steroids and antihistamines.[10]  In severe reactions injectable adrenaline (epinephrine). treatment
