Type 1 = Acute (example: anaphylaxis, hives). Type 2 = Cytotoxic (example: OCP) . Type 3 = Immune complex (example: scleritis, serum sickness). Type 4 = Delayed (example: PPD, poison ivy).
One mnemonic that some people like is “ACID.” Personally, I just remember that the main Type 2 reaction we see in the eye is OCP.
note the spelling of the name:
Stevens Johnson Syndrome; named after the two Drs Stevens and Johnson, who gave this condition its name in 1922.
I had it in 1997 and it ruined my eyes.
