The mechanism of allergy consists in release of antibodies in human body which may lead to its decreased or increased sensitivity. Allergy symptoms manifest themselves in the form of skin rash, severe irritation of mucous membranes and total exhaustion.
Allergic reaction is a condition developed on the basis of immunological conflict. In diagnosing allergy it is important to define the allergen, its causative relation with clinical manifestations and the type of the immunological reaction.  Pathogenetic principle of defining 4 types of allergic reactions is the generally accepted method of diagnosing allergy.
Presently allergic diseases are very common among children and the number of affected children and severity of the disease in children grows every day. Supposedly it is associated with environmental pollution: exhaust, industry waste, etc; and appearing in household use multitudes of synthetic materials and dyes which are potential allergens and may promote spreading allergic diseases. The uncontrolled use of medicines may also lead to the growth of the number of allergic patients. The increased sensitivity to medicines often occurs in the result of unjustified use of several medicines simultaneously, uncontrolled use of antibiotics or your doctor`s insufficient knowledge of pharmacokinetics who prescribed incompatible medicines or wrong dosage for you. Other factors which may play a significant role in the development of an allergy are climate, food habits, heredity, somatic pathologies, etc.
Thus allergy is a pathologically increased response of a human body to specific substances of antigenic nature which usually do not cause any symptoms of disease in people with normal body reaction. Allergy may also be caused by gastrointestinal pathologies, nervous or endocrine system dysfunctions, etc.  Any agent which causes antibody response in case of getting into human body can become an incentive for an allergy.
