Resumo4!34 individuals may have systemic reactions after the next sting experience.'. ' In our initial studies of this problem, patients were evaluated shortly after a large local sting reaction.'!Approximately half of the patients were found to have serum venom-specific IgE.In this article, we report the follow-up resting experience of individuals who have had large local reactions.A small group of these patients received specific venom immunotherapy.These observations suggest that patients with large local reactions from insect stings, when they are restung, are likely to have recurrent large local reactions with small risk of systemic anaphylaxis, regardless of the presence of venom-specific 1gE or venom immunotherapy.
