Abstract

The European and American approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of insect-sting allergy differ, although there is consensus that venom immunotherapy is the treatment of choice for reducing the risk for future sting reactions. The role of challenge stings in selecting patients for prophylactic treatment is discussed.
