Certains auteurs considèrent le terme «immunoglobuline» comme synonyme du terme «anticorps». Toutefois, tous les anticorps sont des immunoglobulines, mais les immunoglobulines ne sont pas toutes des anticorps. 5, record 1, French, - immunoglobuline

An alternative... purpose of the IgE [immunoglobulin E] system might be to defend against ectoparasites such as ticks, chiggers, scabies, lice, fleas or bedbugs. A minor problem for most people in modern societies, ectoparasites have, throughout most of human evolution, been a constant nuisance, as well as the vectors for many diseases. 4, record 2, English, - ectoparasite

Certains auteurs englobent ces 3 entités [aphylaxie, réaction anaphylactique et réaction anaphylactoïde] sous le terme «anaphylaxie»; d'autres distinguent entre réaction anaphylactique et réaction anaphylactoïde, et dans ce cas, pour certains on parle d'anaphylaxie seulement si la réaction est médiée par les IgE[immunoglobuline E], pour d'autres ce terme englobe toutes les formes médiées par le système immunitaire, incluant aussi les réactions médiées par des complexes immuns. Pour palier à cette situation, on parle de «syndrome anaphylactique» pour englober toutes ces réactions. 2, record 3, French, - anaphylaxie
