Abstract

Traditionally, the allergic types of reactions in the mucous membranes have been classified by the Coombs and Gel system. This includes types I-IV and covers most of the major pathologic events (Figs. 10.1–10.11) [1]. In brief, we can look on these as a useful way to sort out reactions as they occur, and provide insight into future potential problems.
