Part I: Insect stings and bites—Beyond the realm of bee and wasp allergies
Summary
Background
Insects are a very diverse group of animals and valuable members of any ecosystem. Allergies to bees and wasps (order: Hymenoptera) are well known in Europe. Allergies, toxicities, and the spread of diseases by other insects are also possible but quite frequently are not diagnosed.
Sources
A MEDLINE search on allergy caused by stinging and biting insects apart from bees and wasps was conducted. All relevant articles were evaluated, and a selection of relevant publications and cases from our outpatient units are used to illustrate our arguments.
Content and implications
Allergies to insects following bites and stings are common. Ant stings, mainly from imported fire ants, frequently lead to severe anaphylaxis, and their venom can elicit systemic toxic effects. Stings and bites of various other ant species can also lead to severe allergic reactions. Mosquito stings and horsefly or other Diptera stings may elicit severe local and IgE-mediated systemic reactions. True bugs (Hemiptera) are hematophagous insects and can also cause severe allergic reactions, in addition to being feared for transmitting diseases.
期刊介绍:
Allergo Journal International is the official Journal of the German Society for Applied Allergology (AeDA) and the Austrian Society for Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI). The journal is a forum for the communication and exchange of ideas concerning the various aspects of allergy (including related fields such as clinical immunology and environmental medicine) and promotes German allergy research in an international context. The aim of Allergo Journal International is to provide state of the art information for all medical and scientific disciplines that deal with allergic, immunological and environmental diseases. Allergo Journal International publishes original articles, reviews, short communications, case reports, and letters to the editor. The articles cover topics such as allergic, immunological and environmental diseases, the latest developments in diagnosis and therapy as well as current research work concerning antigens and allergens and aspects related to occupational and environmental medicine. In addition, it publishes clinical guidelines and position papers approved by expert panels of the German, Austrian and Swiss Allergy Societies.
All submissions are reviewed in single-blind fashion by at least two reviewers.
Originally, the journal started as a German journal called Allergo Journal back in 1992. Throughout the years, English articles amounted to a considerable portion in Allergo Journal. This was one of the reasons to extract the scientific content and publish it in a separate journal. Hence, Allergo Journal International was born and now is the international continuation of the original German journal. Nowadays, all original content is published in Allergo Journal International first. Later, selected manuscripts will be translated and published in German and included in Allergo Journal.
