Allergic reactions are the response to the antigen-antibody interaction, a consequence of an immune response to a substance, that is, a response to specific antigens.

What are allergic reactions?

They consist of the perception of our body as harmful of a substance that is not (allergen).

This contact triggers an exaggerated immune response that manifests itself in various organs of the body, that is, specific immune responses, with clinical expression.
