20.500.12556/DiRROS-22848 Hymenoptera venom immunotherapy in dogs safety and clinical efficacy Insect venom allergy is a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction following a bee, wasp, or ant sting. The only treatment to prevent further systemic sting reactions is venom immunotherapy (VIT), with an efficacy of up to 98% in humans. Prospective clinical data on VIT efficacy in dogs are currently lacking. In this investigation, 10 dogs with severe allergic reactions to either bee or wasp stings were treated with VIT. All dogs tolerated the therapy without adverse effects and the dogs which were re-stung tolerated the sting. This means that VIT is not only safe, but also efficacious in these patients. Furthermore, it was also shown that in addition to skin testing, two serum allergen-specific IgE tests were reliable to identify the underlying patients’ insect sensitization pattern. anaphylaxis angioedema dogs Hymenoptera allergy urticaria venom immunotherapy true false true MDPI AG, 2013- Animals Angleški jezik Ni določen © 2023 by the authors.
