Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain hypersensitivity and its immunological types, distinguish allergy, pseudoallergy and sensory hypersensitivity, relay general information on assessment and management from health bodies, and route personal medical questions to clinicians and emergencies to services.

An excessive or inappropriate immune response to a substance or stimulus that causes tissue damage or symptoms, classified into types from immediate allergic reactions mediated by antibodies to delayed cell-mediated reactions, and including food hypersensitivity, drug reactions, pseudoallergy without immune mechanism, and hypersensitivity manifestations in joints and other organs; the term also covers sensory hypersensitivity in neurology and psychology, and the condition is assessed and managed by allergists and other specialists.

What it is for: Excessive immune or sensory responses.

It can be explain types; distinguish related conditions; relay assessment and management information; route personal questions.

Distinguishing features

Immune overreaction

Four classical types

Allergic and non-allergic forms

Sensory sense in other fields

What it looks like

Not physical as a concept; reactions such as rash, swelling or inflammation.

How it is recognised

Excessive immune response causing symptoms

Immediate to delayed types

Autoimmunity targets self; immunodeficiency is insufficient response
