pubmed:abstractText
Twenty-eight of 62 children (45%) with a history of sting-induced anaphylaxis and initially positive skin tests to venom(s) developed negative venom skin tests to one or more of the venoms used in their treatment after 3 yr or more of immunotherapy. Children who developed negative venom skin tests were less sensitive prior to treatment, as judged by venom skin tests and venom-specific IgE antibody determinations, than children who maintained positive venom skin tests. Levels of venom-specific IgE antibodies declined with time in most children, but to lower levels in those with negative skin tests. Venom-specific IgG antibody levels were similar in both patients with negative skin tests and those with persistently positive skin tests. The development of negative skin tests may reflect a loss of allergic sensitivity, which is sufficient to allow the physician to consider the discontinuation of venom injections.
