ABSTRACT
Hypersensitivity reactions are overreactions of the immune system clinically seen as allergic and autoimmune diseases. Gell and Coombs originally described four different types of hypersensitivity reactions almost 60 years ago, and their description still applies in large parts. However, some modifications and extensions have been included in original definition. Especially in allergic diseases, it became clear that often, multiple types of hypersensitivity reaction can occur simultaneously. This improved insight is not only important for a better understanding of hypersensitivity disorders, but is especially of importance for improved diagnostics and directing therapeutic interventions.
