Localized, inherited allergic reactions mediated by IgE are known as atopic reactions, such as urticaria (hives). Atopic reactions are immediate (not delayed such as type IV poison ivy rash). Infections are not part of type I hypersensitivity. Autoimmune reactions are in response to antigens, not allergens.
