[Value of specific IgE and IgG4 measurements in the follow-up of a hymenoptera venom immunotherapy treatment: apropos of 82 cases].

The work is devoted to the study of 82 dossiers of patients who were treated by immunotherapy (IT) to hymenoptera venoms, following various manifestations. The study has permitted analysis of the value of measurement of specific immunoglobulins, both IgE and IgG4 (1), in following IT in patients who were treated for at least three years. It especially emphasized the usefulness of adopting management that is appropriate to the clinical and biological characteristics of each patient.
