Venom Immunotherapy in Patients: Clinical Characteristics, Treatment Outcomes, and Real-Life Safety Data
This study delineates the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with honey bee and wasp venom allergies, highlighting the efficacy of VIT treatment. Despite the occurrence of side effects related to VIT, both previous studies and our findings suggest that these side effects are not more severe than systemic reactions resulting from stings. The absence of severe systemic reactions in patients who were stung again during or after receiving VIT underscores the effectiveness of the immunotherapy.
