چکیده
effects in bee-venom-treated patients and in those with rapid dose increase. Methods: This report describes the first case of a patient in the literature with Jessner’s Lymphocytic infiltration as a side effect of venom immunotherapy. This is a chronic, benign, T cell pseudolymphoma characterized by the occurrence of recurrent, asymptomatic, smooth, erythematous, non-scaling papules or plaques. However, the exact cause of Jessner’s Lymphocytic Infiltration is unknown. Results: The case here reported was a 61 year-old male pediatrician, who has been followed by at our Immunology Service because of an immediate allergy to a bee sting managed with venom immunotherapy. His chief complaint was an anaphylactic reaction after 5 minutes of a bee sting. The onset of his symptoms was gradual and began just 25 minutes after the sting. The venom immunotherapy regimen was planned and the protocol immediately began without premedication. But during the initial phases of treatment, on the third dose of immunotherapy, he reported severe itching. After complaining of itching, many erythematous papules and plaques on his chest were developed. The lesions flared up for 3 days period just after injection and decreased afterwards. The type of lesions and their location supported the diagnosis of Jessner disease, which had also a histopathological confirmation. Conclusions: We herein report this case to call attention to this side effect of VIT that there may be more similar cases never reported.
