A Straightforward Algorithm for Diagnosing Hymenoptera Venom Allergy and Identifying the Relevant Venom for Immunotherapy
Conventional tests, such as sIgE determination or intradermal testing, are usually sufficient. Combining both increases sensitivity, while additional tests provide no further benefit. Double-positive findings may often be clarified using a simple sIgE ratio, though sensitivity remains limited.
