Apr 16th, 2020 - Large local reactions (LLR) to Hymenoptera stings were considered as IgE-mediated late-phase inflammatory reactions. However, in older studies, most patients with LLR were skin test positive, but only around 50% had detectable sIgE determined by t...

Sep 7th, 2019 - The natural history of large local reactions to Hymenoptera stings allowed to estimate the risk to develop a systemic reaction after an initial large local reaction in about 4% of patients. A recently published study claimed that such risk concern...

May 10th, 2019 - Large local reaction to Hymenoptera stings is usually defined as a swelling >10 cm which lasts longer than 24 hours, sometimes associated with erythema, pruritus and blisters. Currently, the risk of subsequent systemic reactions after re-stings is...

Mar 1st, 2019 - Introduction: Many risk factors that facilitate venom allergy and increase systemic reaction severity have been described in various studies, but the data are limited regarding this issue. We aimed to evaluate the impact of total immunoglobulin E ...

Nov 7th, 2018 - Background Hymenoptera stings account for more deaths in the United States than any other envenomation. The order Hymenoptera includes Apis species, ie, bees (European, African), vespids (wasps, yellow jackets, hornets), and ants (see the images b...

Abstract and Introduction Assessment of patients with unexplained hypotensive episodes in outpatient practice is often challenging, with an extensive differential diagnosis. The prevalence of systemic mast cell disease (MCD) is unknown, and the di...

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Purpose of Review: Hymenoptera stings are thought to cause systemic allergic reactions in 0.4-5% of individuals, and to account for 40-100 deaths annually in the USA. This review examines current research on inse...

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Purpose of Review: In severe anaphylaxis, the cardiovascular system is often heavily involved. Preexisting cardiovascular disease may therefore influence the course of anaphylaxis in a negative way. Recent Findin...
