Overview

Allergy must be differentiated from other diseases that cause Dermatological (Urticaria, pruritus, flushing, Angioedema), Respiratory (Rhinorrhea,chest tightness,Wheezing, Dyspnoea, Sneezing, Shortness of breath) Mucosal (Mucosal swelling affecting nose, lips, tongue, larynx, pharynx, conjunctiva, GIT) Ocular (Periorbital edema, Conjunctival Congesion, Itching), Systemic (Hypotension). Allergy can be differentiated according to the type of allergy.


Differentiating [[allergy] from other Diseases

Allergy must be differentiated from other diseases that cause Dermatological (Urticaria, pruritus, flushing, Angioedema), Respiratory (Rhinorrhea,chest tightness,Wheezing, Dyspnoea, Sneezing, Shortness of breath) Mucosal (Mucosal swelling affecting nose, lips, tongue, larynx, pharynx, conjunctiva, GIT) Ocular (Periorbital edema, Conjunctival Congesion, Itching), Systemic (Hypotension). Allergy can be differentiated according to the types of allergy.

Differentiating Allergy from other diseases on the basis of Dermatological, Respiratory, Mucosal, Ocular, Systemic Manifestations

On the basis Dermatological, Respiratory, Mucosal, Ocular, Systemic Manifestations, Allergy must be differentiated according to the types of allergy.

  • Food Allergy is differentiated from enzyme deficiencies like lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance, Celiac Disease, Toxic reactions, Irritable bowel syndrome, Tyramine or caffeine toxicity, Gustatory Rhinitis.
