Hypersensitivity - hypersensitivity

Japanese: 過敏症 - かびんしょう(英語表記)hypersensitivity
Hypersensitivity - hypersensitivity

Semantically, it means an abnormally strong reaction in a specific individual to a weak stimulus that does not cause any reaction in a normal individual due to an increase in sensitivity to the stimulus, but it is usually used as a synonym for allergy. For example, immediate-type allergy is used as immediate-type hypersensitivity, and delayed-type allergy is used as delayed-type hypersensitivity.
