Immunotherapy with wasp venom is accompanied by wide-ranging immune responses that need further exploration.

Immunotherapy with wasp allergen leads to a variety of specific immunological changes. It is unknown, however, whether unspecific effects also occur, and which parameter shifts might indicate treatment success. Therefore, data of patients who had completed immunotherapy with wasp venom were analysed retrospectively for a change in the following parameters after therapy: threshold of skin tests ...

Investigating the Changes in Venom-Specific IgE Induced by Wasp Venom Immunotherapy

Patients with systemic reactions (SR) to Hymenoptera stings are successfully treated by venom immunotherapy (VIT), but there is not yet a general agreement on the criteria for stopping VIT. We discuss the importance of the venom-specific IgE levels among these criteria. In particular, the results from a recent study evaluating the IgE changes during a 5-year VIT, in patients stung and protected...

In 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...

Hymenoptera venom allergy: taking the sting out of difficult cases.

BACKGROUND Correct identification of the culprit venom is a prerequisite for specific venom immunotherapy. OBJECTIVE To assess whether the basophil activation test (BAT) constitutes an additional diagnostic instrument in patients with equivocal or negative specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E or venom skin test (VST) results. METHODS One hundred eighteen patients with a compelling history of IgE-...

Importance of basophil activation testing in insect venom allergy

BACKGROUND Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is the only effective treatment for prevention of serious allergic reactions to bee and wasp stings in sensitized individuals. However, there are still many questions and controversies regarding immunotherapy, like selection of the appropriate allergen, safety and long term efficacy. METHODS Literature review was performed to address the role of basophil a...

Wasp venom is appropriate for immunotherapy of patients with allergic reaction to the European hornet sting.

AIM To identify whether it is the yellow jacket (Vespula germanica) or European hornet (Vespa crabro) venom that induces sensitization in patients with IgE-mediated allergic reaction to the venom from the sting of a European hornet. Since these patients usually have positive skin tests and specific IgE to all vespid venoms, it would be useful to distinguish cross-reactors from non-cross-reactor...
