Summary Introduction
To review:
The development of contact sensitivity to poison oak.
Introduction:
The allergic contact dermatitis is a delayed type hypersensitivity. It is called so because of the occurrence of allergic reactions about 24 to 48 hours after exposure to the antigen. Delayed type hypersensitivity is a T-cell dependent immunity. When the poison ivy comes in contact to the skin surface, the allergic response is seen after 24 to 48 hours of exposure to that antigen.
