Managing patients with stinging insect allergies can be challenging. Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is the go-to treatment option for patients with a venom allergy. circumstances, as outlined in the Immunotherapy Practice Parameters: “Under rare circumstances, when the benefit of allergen immunotherapy clearly outweighs the risk of withholding immunotherapy (ex., patients with a history of venom-induced anaphylaxis living in 0000015579 00000 n VIT with the culprit venom offers a high degree of protection from future anaphylactic sting reactions.2,3, By detecting sensitization with stinging insect allergen component testing, a more precise diagnosis and treatment plan is possible.2,3, International guidelines recommend that tryptase should be analyzed in patients with a history of a severe sting reaction and that tryptase should be measured in patients before starting VIT. 2, 6-9, Tryptase measures the total tryptase levels including all forms of α-tryptase and ß-tryptase. iv. Venom immunotherapy is administered every four to eight weeks for at least five years. Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is a life-saving medical treatment for individuals allergic to Hymenoptera species. J Allergy and Clin Immuno. Venom immunotherapy in the United Kingdom is administered only in secondary care under specialist supervision. Allergen immunotherapy (also called allergy vaccine therapy) involves the administration of gradually increasing quantities of specific allergens to patients with IgE-mediated conditions until a dose is reached that is effective in reducing disease severity from natural exposure. 0000004795 00000 n Apidae consists of Apis mellifera (honey bees) and Bumblebee species (bumblebees), and the Vespidae subclass includes Vespula species (“yellow jackets,” wasps and hornets) and Polistes species (“paper” wasps) (1, 2).

However, adding diagnostic testing to aid in a differential diagnosis has been shown to increase confidence in diagnosis.i,ii Diagnostic testing can also help to improve the patient’s quality of life and productivity, reduce costs associated with absenteeism, and optimize use of medication, in addition to decreasing unscheduled healthcare visits.iii,ivÂ, i.
