Examples would include lactose intolerance secondary to gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
Examples include drug induce sensitives, such as the increased sensitivity to tyramine among patients on monoamine oxidase-inhibiting drugs used as an antidepressant and the enhanced sensitivity to histamine among tuberculosis patients in isoniased therapy.
