AbstractThe immunotherapy with purified bee and wasp venom is indicated for patients with severe general reactions after insect stings, positive prick test and positive RAST. One hundred seventy four persons were treated for three years with bee venom (SSW Dresden) and 34 patients with wasp venom (Reless). Challenge by a stinging bee after treatment proved in 90 per cent complete protection. There were no general reactions during hyposensitization with wasp venom, but in 46 per cent occurred general reactions during immunotherapy with bee venom. Therefore rush desensitization should be performed in indoor patients till a top dose of 100 micrograms/ml is reached. Booster injections can be given to outdoor patients. All individuals with systemic reactions after insect stings have to get an emergency treatment kit and must be familiar with its application.
