The slow loris monkey is one of the few venomous mammals. Its venom repels predators and can cause anaphylactic shock and even death in humans. The venom protein has been evaluated and has high sequence similarity to cat allergen; however, no studies involving subjects with cat allergy and who have been exposed to slow loris venom have been reported. We herein report the first case of severe anaphylactic shock following a slow loris bite in a patient with cat allergy.
蜂猴是少数几种有毒的哺乳动物之一。它的毒液可以击退捕食者,在人类身上可引起过敏反应,甚至死亡。毒液蛋白已经过评估,与猫过敏原具有高度序列相似性;然而,尚未有报道涉及对猫过敏并接触过蜂猴毒液的受试者的研究。我们在此报告首例猫过敏患者被蜂猴咬伤后发生严重过敏反应的病例。
