A Bad Reaction
A Case Study in Immunology
By James A. Hewlett
Share Start a Discussion
This case involves the transfer of a food allergy to a patient who received a combined kidney and liver transplant from a donor who died as the result of an allergic reaction. In addition to learning about the various roles of immune cells, the physiology of anaphylaxis, and the function of antibodies in immune physiology, students explore concepts related to histocompatibilities, organ donation, and organ rejection. The case is appropriate for use in a course in human physiology, a combined course in human anatomy and physiology, or an introductory course in immunology.

Solution. Here’s how to approach this question. To identify and describe the immunological mechanism that led to the patient's death, start by explaining the role of the peanut allergen in triggering an allergic response and leading to anaphylactic shock.

Peanuts are one of the most common causes of food allergy in the United States and Europe. Tey are also a leading cause of food-induced anaphylaxis and death, which usually follow inadvertent exposures. Allergy to peanuts is an IgE-mediated, mast-cell-dependent, immediate-hypersensitivity reaction.
