Abstract:
Hymenoptera venom-sensitized patients may experience systemic reactions,and severe patients may even present life-threatening symptoms such as collapse and syncope.Here we report a case of anaphylaxis triggered by multiple sensitization with Hymenoptera venom.Clinical diagnosis and in vitro allergen testing showed that the patient developed anaphylaxis to wasp and/or fire ant venom.In clinical practice,allergen testing of patients with anaphylaxis to Hymenoptera venom aims to clarify the sensitizing proteins and lay a foundation for future research on immunotherapy for Hymenoptera venom in China.For Hymenoptera-allergic patients,daily outdoor protection is crucial,and an epinephrine syringe can be carried with them if necessary.
