Diagnostics in Hymenoptera venom allergy: current concepts and developments with special focus on molecular allergy diagnostics

Allergo Journal International

Abstract

The high rate of asymptomatic sensitization to Hymenoptera venom, difficulty in correctly identifying Hymenoptera and loss of sensitization over time make an accurate diagnosis of Hymenoptera venom allergy challenging. Although routine diagnostic tests encompassing skin tests and the detection of venom-specific IgE antibodies with whole venom preparations are reliable, they offer insufficient precision in the case of double sensitized patients or in those with a history of sting anaphylaxis, in whom sensitization cannot be proven or only to the presumably wrong venom. Systematic literature research and review of current concepts of diagnostic testing in Hymenoptera venom allergy. Improvements in diagnostic accuracy over recent years have mainly been due to the increasing use of molecular allergy diagnostics. Detection of specific IgE antibodies to marker and cross-reactive venom allergens improves the discrimination between genuine sensitization and cross-reactivity, and this provides a better rationale for prescribing venom immunotherapy. The basophil activation test has also increased diagnostic accuracy by reducing the number of Hymenoptera venom sensitizations overlooked with routine tests. This paper reviews current concep...Continue Reading

Anaphylaxis

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

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.
