Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The term anaphylaxis was used to denote a reaction, in which animals are injected with a foreign protein. Although the animals showed no response against the first contact, the treatment with the same protein for the second time, they exhibited symptoms such as itching, sneezing, difficulty in breathing, convulsions, and prostration and sometimes it may lead them to death within few minutes.

A common symptom of strep throat is the presence of swollen lymph nodes in the neck. This symptom usually peaks about 2–4 days after the onset of the infection, and is due to: Damage to the pharyngeal epithelium by the bacteria Release of bacterial PAMPs leading to inflammatory cytokine production Trapping and activation of antigen-specific lymphocytes in the lymph nodes of the neck Recruitment of neutrophils to the lymph nodes of the neck Recruitment of circulating macrophages to the lymph nodes of the neckarrow_forward
