Ant allergy is a rare clinical problem that ranges from local to systemic reaction and life-threatening anaphylaxis. Different types of ants including the imported fire ants, the black (samsum) ants, and others, are considered health hazard in many parts of the world. We report a 32-year-old Saudi female from Hafr-Al-Batin in the Northern region of Saudi Arabia, with history of recurrent anaphylaxis following black (samsum) ant stings and we review the related literature. This is the first report of black (samsum) ant allergy in Saudi Arabia.
蚂蚁过敏是一种罕见的临床问题，其症状从局部反应到全身反应，甚至危及生命的过敏反应。包括入侵红火蚁、黑蚁（沙特蚁）等不同种类的蚂蚁，在世界许多地区都被视为健康威胁。我们报告了一名来自沙特阿拉伯北部哈费尔巴廷的32岁沙特女性，她有被黑蚁（沙特蚁）蜇伤后反复发生过敏反应的病史，并对相关文献进行了综述。这是沙特阿拉伯首例黑蚁（沙特蚁）过敏的报告。
