Human Sting of Cephalonomia gallicola (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) in Korea
Hymenoptera stings can cause serious injury to humans. We report the clinical findings of 6 cases of Hymenoptera stings. All patients developed painful erythematous papules at the sting sites and had a past history of parasitoid wasp sting. This is the first clinical report of the parasitoid wasp, Cephalonomia gallicola, causing human stings in Korea.
متن کاملThe Return of Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity Skin Testing for Coccidioidomycosis.
A skin test that detects dermal hypersensitivity in persons with past infection with Coccidioides species is again available for clinical use. Nearly all of the clinical studies with similar materials were published prior to the 1990s, and as a result, many practicing physicians will be unfamiliar with how skin testing for coccidioidomycosis might be useful in patient management or as a researc...
متن کاملRole of IL-16 in delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction.
Interleukin (IL)-16 is a chemoattractant cytokine for CD4(+) leukocytes. Because delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction is mediated by T helper 1 (Th1) cells and CD4(+) T cells can be chemoattracted by IL-16, we have investigated the involvement of IL-16 in the DTH reaction. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the IL-16 expression in infiltrating cells and epithelial cells in the DTH fo...

This therapy was discontinued 2 weeks later due to an itchy, desquamative, erythematous, papular rash, with painful crusts and excoriations, spreading from the face and hands to the rest of the body. 5 days after withdrawal of all drugs, widespread desquamation and exfoliation with predile...
