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 ...
متن کاملWasp Venom Immunotherapy in a Patient With Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Central Nervous System Disease: Is it Safe?
Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is the only highly effective way of treating patients with hymenoptera venom allergy (HVA). The most serious anaphylactic symptoms of HVA (HVA-SYS IVo) are life-threatening, thus making their occurrence an unconditional recommendation for VIT. Yet, VIT is contraindicated in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. We present the case of a 55-year-old woman with autoinfla...
متن کاملInvestigating 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...
متن کاملWasp 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...
