abstract="A questionnaire designed to estimate the prevalence of allergic reactions to Hymenoptera venom was posted to 1000 inhabitants of south west Poland. 881 persons responded to the questionnaire. 255 (28.9%) reported allergic reactions to stinging insects venom 141 persons (16%) report large local reactions (LL) and 114 (12.9%) systemic reactions (SYS) after stinging. At the second stage of the study 95 persons, out of the 255, were examined by a physician and tested with the intracutaneous skin test. Anamnesis carried out by the physician initially confirmed venom allergy in 87% of the LL group and 77.5% of the SYS group. Skin test results verified the above assessments confirming venom allergy in 38% persons initially reporting LL reactions and in 55% of those initially reporting SYS reaction.<p /><p>Language: pl</p>",
