Expansion based on AllergyIntoleranceType v4.3.0 (CodeSystem)
All codes in this table are from the system http://hl7.org/fhir/allergy-intolerance-type
| Code | Display | Definition | 
| allergy | Allergy | A propensity for hypersensitive reaction(s) to a substance. These reactions are most typically type I hypersensitivity, plus other "allergy-like" reactions, including pseudoallergy. | 
| intolerance | Intolerance | A propensity for adverse reactions to a substance that is not judged to be allergic or "allergy-like". These reactions are typically (but not necessarily) non-immune. They are to some degree idiosyncratic and/or patient-specific (i.e. are not a reaction that is expected to occur with most or all patients given similar circumstances). |

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:
| Lvl | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information | 
| Source | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) | 
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract') | 
| Display | The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application | 
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
