Bee/Vespula Venom-Specific IgE Ratio Greater Than 5:1 Indicates Culprit Insect in Double-Sensitized Patients
Dominant specific IgE at a ratio of 5:1 indicates the culprit venom in double-sensitized allergic patients. Additional component-resolved diagnostic testing can be restricted to cases with double sensitization to whole venom at a ratio of less than 5:1. Double sensitization to rApi m 1 and rVes v 5 per se does not justify double venom immunotherapy.
