Venom skin testing was performed in 216 patients with histories of systemic or local reactions following insect stings. Seventy-six percent of the patients with histories of systemic reactions and 77% of the patients with histories of local reactions had positive skin tests up to 1 mcg/ml. The majority of vespid sensitive patients had positive skin tests to all the vespid species. Significant (p less than .001) cross-reactivity is suggested by regression analysis. This study confirms the value and safety of venom skin testing in hymenoptera hypersensitivity. The implications for venom immunotherapy of the findings are also discussed.
对216例有昆虫叮咬后全身或局部反应病史的患者进行了毒液皮肤试验。有全身反应病史的患者中，76%以及有局部反应病史的患者中，77%的皮肤试验在毒液浓度达1微克/毫升时呈阳性。大多数黄蜂敏感患者对所有黄蜂种类的皮肤试验均呈阳性。回归分析提示存在显著的（p小于0.001）交叉反应性。本研究证实了毒液皮肤试验在膜翅目昆虫过敏中的价值和安全性。还讨论了这些发现对毒液免疫疗法的意义。
