Abstract

A biomarker that could identify individuals at high risk for severe honeybee sting allergic reaction and/or systemic adverse events (SAEs) during venom immunotherapy (VIT) would improve the management of patients with honeybee (HB) venom allergy. To identify biomarkers for risk of severe sting reactions or SAEs during VIT. We recruited 332 patients undergoing HB VIT. We ascertained predictors of the severity of the field-sting reaction and the severity and threshold of SAEs during VIT. We assessed the use of cardiovascular medications; baseline serum tryptase (BST) levels; specific IgEs to HB venom, rApi m 1, and rApi m 10; and basophil activation test (BAT) response. Significant and independent predictors of a severe HB field-sting reaction were age (P = .008), an absence of skin symptoms (P = .001), BST (P = .014), and BAT response at an HB venom concentration of 0.1 μg/mL (P = .001). Predictors of severe SAEs during HB VIT were age (P = .025), BST (P = .006), and BAT response (P = .001). BAT response was also an individual and significant predictor of any SAEs and SAEs at a low cumulative allergen dose (median, 55 μg) during VIT build-up (P < .001). The use of β-blockers and angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors and speci...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.
