Conclusions: In our patient cohort, insect venom allergy was associated with a moderate disease burden and a good compliance with carrying the emergency medication. However, several of our participants demonstrated borderline or significant anxiety and/or depression disorders. In this regard, this study highlights the necessity to regularly ask the patient about the psychological well-being to identify patients needing psychological support.Int Arch Allergy Immunol
