[Clinical picture and diagnosis of bee-venom allergy. A comparison between skin tests and RAST determinations]. 1978

M Stieger, and B Wüthrich, and S Wyss, and E Kopper

Of a group of 53 anamnestically assured bee venom allergies 81.1% positive skin tests (bee whole body extract) as well as 79% positive RAST (bee venom) could be proven. A statistical connection between skin test and clinic reaction degree, as well as between "RAST-clinic reaction degree" and "skin test--RAST" could not be found. The agreement between skin test and RAST results was of 71.7%, the positive correlation of 66%. The problem of the diagnosis and the therapy of allergy to hymenopteren stings is briefly described.

D011852 Radioallergosorbent Test An in vitro allergen radioimmunoassay in which allergens are coupled to an immunosorbent.
