Transcript

Slide 1-

Insect Sting Allergy and Venom Immunotherapy David B.K. Golden, M.D. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
Slide 2-

History of Reaction to Insect Stings(Skin Test Positive Patients) No reaction Large Local Cutaneous Systemic Anaphylaxis
Slide 3-

Severe swelling 24 hrs after a sting should be treated with: A. Antibiotics C. Antihistamine E. Epinephrine B. Prednisone D. Venom immunotherapy
Slide 4-

Venom immunotherapy: A. Is not necessary (“He’ll outgrow it”) B. Is dangerous C. is only partially effective D. Is forever E. None of the above
Slide 5-

Diagnosis of Insect Sting Allergy(Indications for Venom Immunotherapy) History Venom Skin Test (RAST) Natural History
Slide 6-

Symptoms and Signs of Insect Sting Anaphylaxis in Adults and Children Frequency (%) Symptoms or Sign Adults Children Cutaneous only 15 60 Urticaria/angioedema 80 95 Dizziness/hypotension 60 10 Dyspnea/wheezing 50 40 Throat tightness/ 40 40 Hoarseness Loss of consciousness 30 5
Slide 7-

Epidemiology of Venom Allergy History of systemic reaction in 0.5%-3.0% of the population Positive venom skin test or RAST in 15%-25% of the population. Transient positive skin test or RAST may occur after uneventful sting. Presence of IgE venom antibody not necessarily predictive of clinical reactivity.
Slide 8-

Correlation of Yellow Jacket Venom RAST and Skin Tests (Golden - JAMA 1989) Venom Skin Test RAST (ng/L) Positive Negative < 1 (negative) 9 (24%) 190 (89%) ≥ 1 (positive) 29 (76%) 23 (11%) 1.0 - 1.9 8 9 2.0 - 2.9 5 4 3.0 - 4.9 4 5 ≥5.0 12 5 Total 38 213
Slide 9-

History Positive Patients with Negative Venom Skin Tests Possible explanations: Not true allergic reaction (no objective signs) Allergy “outgrown” Mastocytosis (~1 % of insect allergic patients) Not detected: - Refractory period (anergy) - RAST positive
Slide 10-

Diagnostic Venom Test Reactivity after Systemic Sting Reaction (Goldberg and Confino-Cohen; JACI 1997) Time after sting 1 week 4 - 6 week Any Skin Test Positive 20 (53%) 15 (39%) 35 (92%) RAST Positive 24 (63%) 8 (21%) 32 (84%) Any Positive 30 (79%) 8 (21%) 38 (100%)
Slide 11-

Venom Skin Test / RAST in History Positive Patients (Golden - JACI 2001) Total history positive patients screened: (N=307) ST positive 208 (68%) ST negative 99 (32%) ST - neg/RAST neg 56 (57%) (18%) ST - neg/RAST positive 43 (43%) RAST 1 - 3 ng/ml 36 RAST 7 - 243 ng/ml 7
Slide 12-

Diagnosis of Insect Allergy in Patients With Positive History (Systemic) Skin test positive 68% ST negative / RAST positive 14% ST neg / RAST neg / sting challenge positive 1% No sting allergy 17%
Slide 13-

Low Risk Sub-Groups of Patients With Positive Venom Skin Tests Risk of Sting Reaction History Systemic Reaction Children - Cutaneous Systemic 10 % Large Local 5 - 10 %
