Allergic reactions to insect stings and bites Moffitt JESouth Med J 2003[Nov]; 96 (11): 1073-9Insect stings are an important cause of anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can also occur from insect bites but is less common. Insect venoms contain several well-characterized allergens that can trigger anaphylactic reactions. Effective methods to diagnose insect sting allergy and assess risk of future sting reactions have been developed. Management strategies using insect avoidance measures, self-injectable epinephrine, and allergen immunotherapy are very effective in reducing insect-allergic patients' risk of reaction from future stings. Diagnostic and management strategies for patients allergic to insect bites are less developed.|*Ants[MESH]|*Wasps[MESH]|Anaphylaxis/*etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Desensitization, Immunologic[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Insect Bites and Stings/*complications/diagnosis/immunology/*therapy[MESH] |
