N2  - Since allergic reactions to insect venom can become life-threatening, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment are important. The diagnosis of insect venom allergy is made on the basis of the history, a skin test taking the form of an intradermal titration series, and serodiagnosis (IgE). In proven allergy, the patient must be informed about measures to be taken to avoid being stung. Furthermore, the patient will have always to carry a "shock kit" comprising an antihistaminic, a steroid and adrenalin in the form of an aerosol. As specific therapy, desensitization is available.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
