Beyond the direct
effects of the infection, there's the chance of two possible hypersensitivity reactions.
- Type II hypersensitivity:
- Antibodies against the bug cross react
with host tissues.
- Rheumatic heart disease.
- Antibody reacts with ground substance,
affecting:
- endocardium (right)
- myocardium and even
- pericardium
|
 |
- Type III hypersensitivity:
- Antigen-antibody
complex disease.
- Tissues injured are innocent by-standers.
- Immune complexes are trapped in the
glomerulus.
- Complement is fixed.
- PMNs respond, destroying the glomerulus.

Better act fast to prevent
the hypersensitivity problem.
