CAP value among the 3 groups. MANOVA multivariate analysis evaluated differences in overall CAPs and the effects of age, gender, Mueller grade and stings number. A P , 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Data were analysed by ‘SPSS’ 13.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). We called NS patients to check if they were stung after VIT discontinuation. Results: We selected 84 NS, 72 SP3 and 76 SP5...

The cytolytic activity of the bee venom toxin, melittin, is abolished on permethylation of the ammonium groups into quaternary trimethylammonium groups. The loss of activity in permethylated melittin may result partly from the absence of the hydrogen bonding potential and partly from steric effects involving the bulky trimethylammonium groups. Displacing the trimethylammonium groups away from t...

Bee venom immunotherapy (b-VIT) can be combined with omalizumab therapy in order to suppress systemic reactions developing due to b-VIT itself. Omalizumab acts as a premedication and gains time for the immunotherapy to develop its immunomodulatory effects. However, the combination of omalizumab and b-VIT is not always effective enough. Herein we present a patient in whom successful immunotherap...
