Implication

Narrative review highlights the primary role of the vascular apparatus during allergic reactions in atopic individuals, indicating blood vessels drive tissue hypersensitivity.

Key Points

To review the site of allergic reactions in bronchial asthma and evaluate evidence that the vascular apparatus plays a fundamental role in human tissue hypersensitivity.
Synthesized theoretical and immunologic literature regarding hereditary predisposition and shock organ pathology in atopic conditions.
Evaluated physiological mechanisms of antigen-antibody interactions involving the vascular endothelium and the release of chemical mediators.
Identifies the vascular system and blood vessel endothelium as primary mediators of altered tissue reactivity rather than smooth muscle or epithelium acting alone.
Links antigen-antibody binding within designated shock organs directly to the liberation of histamine-like substances that produce allergic responses.
