The correlation between anti phospholipase A2 specific IgE and clinical symptoms after a bee sting in beekeepers
INTRODUCTION Beekeepers are a group of people with high exposure to honeybee stings and with a very high risk of allergy to bee venom. Therefore, they are a proper population to study the correlations between clinical symptoms and results of diagnostic tests. AIM The primary aim of our study was to assess the correlations between total IgE, venom- and phospholipase A2-specific IgE and clinica...
متن کاملA novel inhalation allergen present in the working environment of beekeepers.
BACKGROUND Inhalation allergies, caused by allergens from various kinds of pollen, house dust mites, animal epithelium, and mould fungi, are strongly increasing in frequency. In 2.6% of the cases the allergen source remains unidentified. The present paper describes a so far unknown inhalation allergy which was observed in the case of a patient working with hives. METHODS AND RESULTS The aller...
متن کاملBee and bee products allergy in Turkish beekeepers: determination of risk factors for systemic reactions.
BACKGROUND The prevalence of allergic reactions due to bee stings in beekeepers varies in different regions of the world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of sting reactions and the risk factors for developing systemic reactions in Turkish beekeepers. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 1250 beekeepers to be completed in seven different cities...
متن کاملIn vitro basophil activation using CD63 expression in patients with bee and wasp venom allergy.
The diagnosis of insect venom allergy and the indication for specific immunotherapy is based on history, skin tests and demonstration of hymenoptera venom-specific IgE-antibodies. Cellular tests can add useful information but the role of basophil activation tests for the different venoms has to be elucidated further. We evaluated positive reactions in a basophil activation test using CD63 expre...
متن کاملIn vivo switch to IL-10–secreting T regulatory cells in high dose allergen exposure
High dose bee venom exposure in beekeepers by natural bee stings represents a model to understand mechanisms of T cell tolerance to allergens in healthy individuals. Continuous exposure of nonallergic beekeepers to high doses of bee venom antigens induces diminished T cell-related cutaneous late-phase swelling to bee stings in parallel with suppressed allergen-specific T cell proliferation and ...
