- Allergic — 1. Pertaining to, related to, or caused by an allergy; characterized by an immune system hypersensitivity reaction upon contact with an allergen. 2. (Noun) A person who suffers from an allergy, presenting an exaggerated immunological sensitivity to certain environmental substances or foods. 3. (Colloquial) Manifesting a strong aversion, rejection, or deep intolerance toward a situation, a person, or a concept.
- Allergosis — A general medical term used to designate any disease, chronic condition, or clinical manifestation of an allergic nature, structurally triggered by the body's hypersensitivity state upon contact with an allergen. It covers a wide range of pathologies such as respiratory allergoses (rhinitis), cutaneous allergoses (hives), or digestive ones.
- Anaphylaxis — A state of acute, systemic, and violent allergic hypersensitivity of the body, structurally occurring upon the introduction of a foreign substance (antigen) to which the body was previously sensitized. This severe immunological phenomenon involves massive mast cell degranulation and can rapidly progress to circulatory shock, obstructive laryngeal edema, and cardio-respiratory arrest, requiring immediate emergency medical care.
- Anallergic — Not causing or triggering allergic reactions; structurally characterized by the total absence of allergenic potential. The term applies to cosmetic products, synthetic textiles, medical materials, or advanced hypoallergenic food formulas specifically designed to be perfectly tolerated by individuals with severe cutaneous or immune hypersensitivity.
- Antiallergic — A medication, chemical substance, or biological treatment designed to prevent, mitigate, or suppress the clinical manifestations of an allergic reaction; an antihistamine. It works by blocking histamine receptors or modulating IgE-mediated immune responses.
