Abstract

A survey of patients receiving venom immunotherapy revealed that at the time of emergency treatment of their anaphylactic reaction, a significant percentage had not received appropriate avoidance instruction, a prescription for epinephrine, or referral to an allergist. Emergency room personnel must be instructed in giving appropriate advice after insect sting anaphylaxis.
