gel and coombs hypersensitivities: 6 types?

[SlaveOfTCMC]

I only know of the 4 types that everyone else knows

One of my preceptors insists there are 6 types...

I did a little digging and it seems there was previously a Type 5 HS (for autoimmune diseases, but that has been reclassified into Type 2 for the most part)

ANy medical historians out there?
