Diagnosis of IgE-mediated hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis in patients with negative skin tests and negative RAST using cellular in vitro tests

Taken together, in vitro cellular tests for detecting IgE-mediated reactivity should be considered as useful methods for the diagnosis of hymenoptera venom allergy in addition to skin tests and measurement of specific IgE antibodies.

Description
Summary:Taken together, in vitro cellular tests for detecting IgE-mediated reactivity should be considered as useful methods for the diagnosis of hymenoptera venom allergy in addition to skin tests and measurement of specific IgE antibodies. [...]the Germany Society for Allergology and Clinical Immunology recommendations include these tests in problem patients with a history of sting reactions.2
