Systemic Immediate Hypersensitive Reactions after Treatment with Sweet Bee Venom: A Case Report.

Journal: Journal of pharmacopuncture
Published Date: Dec 1, 2015

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: A previous study showed that bee venom (BV) could cause anaphylaxis or other hypersensitivity reactions. Although hypersensitivity reactions due to sweet bee venom (SBV) have been reported, SBV has been reported to be associated with significantly reduced sensitization compared to BV. Although no systemic immediate hypersensitive response accompanied by abnormal vital signs has been reported with respect to SBV, we report a systemic immediate hypersensitive response that we experienced while trying to use SBV clinically.
