The imported fire ant is a major insect cause of generalized hypersensitivity in the southern United States. The alkaloids in the ant's unique venom also produce substantial morbidity due to local reactions, both toxin- and IgE-mediated. Immunotherapy--with whole body extracts as well as with venom--is given only to patients with systemic reactions.
入侵红火蚁是美国南部引起全身性超敏反应的主要昆虫。这种蚂蚁独特毒液中的生物碱还会因局部反应导致严重发病,这些反应由毒素和IgE介导。免疫疗法——使用全身提取物以及毒液——仅用于有全身反应的患者。
