Across
  1. 1. Immune complex reaction leading to inflammation (e.g., lupus nephritis)
  2. 4. Autoimmune disease causing weakness due to impaired acetylcholine receptors
  3. 6. Lymphocytes that mediate cellular immunity, important in Type IV reactions
  4. 8. Drugs like methotrexate or corticosteroids used to manage autoimmune conditions
  5. 10. Allergy Common healthcare-associated hypersensitivity; cross-reacts with bananas, avocados
  6. 12. Severe type I hypersensitivity reaction with airway and circulatory collapse
  7. 13. Autoimmune demyelinating disorder affecting the CNS with varied symptoms
  8. 14. Chemical mediator released by mast cells causing vasodilation and bronchoconstriction
  9. 15. First-line medication for anaphylaxis; causes vasoconstriction and bronchodilation
  10. 17. Common symptom in autoimmune diseases, often unrelated to activity level
Down
  1. 1. Delayed hypersensitivity involving T-cells (e.g., contact dermatitis, TB test)
  2. 2. Treatment that removes antibodies from the blood; used in GBS and MG
  3. 3. Lymphocytes responsible for antibody production in humoral immunity
  4. 5. Acute autoimmune neuropathy often following infection or immunization
  5. 7. Chronic autoimmune disease affecting skin, joints, and organs; ANA usually positive
  6. 9. Immediate reaction involving IgE antibodies and allergens
  7. 11. Cytotoxic reaction where antibodies attack specific cells (e.g., hemolytic transfusion reaction)
  8. 16. Autoimmune condition causing joint stiffness, swelling, and deformity
  9. 18. Antinuclear antibody often elevated in autoimmune diseases like SLE
