Review the following case study and discuss the questions that follow. 

EO is an 8-year-old girl with a history of asthma and allergy to bee stings. She has been brought to the clinic complaining of a throat infection.

  1. What type of reaction is the health care provider concerned about, and why?
  2. Explain the role of IgE and mast cells in type I hypersensitivity reactions. Why might EO react adversely to the antibiotic with the first use?
  3. What would you tell EOs parents to look for when they are assessing for a reaction?
