Diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy.
The purpose of diagnostic procedure is to classify a sting reaction by history, identify the underlying pathogenetic mechanism, and identify the offending insect. Diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy thus forms the basis for the treatment. In the central and northern Europe vespid (mainly Vespula spp.) and honeybee stings are the most prevalent, whereas in the Mediterranean area stings from P...
متن کاملUse of CD63 expression as marker of in vitro basophil activation in identifying the culprit in insect venom allergy.
BACKGROUND 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. In cases with contradictory test results additional cellular tests are recommended. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the usefulness of a newly introduced test based on basophil CD63 expression as marker of activati...
متن کاملImmunologic reactivity on one year follow-up of subjects without allergy to Hymenoptera stings.
We studied Hymenoptera stings in 72 pest-control operators without any previous systemic reactions to Hymenoptera stings, and investigated their venom-specific IgE levels in serial specimens collected over one year. At the initial evaluation, venom-specific IgE was present in 25 (34.7%) of 72 pest-control operators, and venom-specific IgE titer significantly decreased as the time interval from ...
متن کاملHymenoptera Venom Allergy. A closer collaboration is needed between allergists and emergency physicians.
Background. Hymenoptera stings are sometimes fatal in venom-allergic patients. Fatalities mostly occur in previously stung subjects, especially those with a history of systemic reactions, and could be avoided if patients were properly informed of the existence of a prevention strategy for insect stings, referred to an allergy follow-up and prescribed auto-injectable epinephrine and/or venom-spe...
متن کاملImpact of Hymenoptera venom allergy and the effects of specific venom immunotherapy on mast cell metabolites in sensitized children.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Mast cells (MC) are effector cells during severe systemic reactions (SR) to Hymenoptera stings. Venom specific immunotherapy (VIT) is the treatment of choice for prevention of SR to stings. Tryptase and prostaglandin D₂ metabolites (PGD₂) are the markers of MC activation. The study design was to 1. compare baseline values of serum tryptase concentration (BST) and PGD₂...
