Risk of anaphylaxis in patients with large local reactions to hymenoptera stings: a retrospective and prospective study
Conclusions:
Our findings confirm that patients with repeated LLRs to stings had no risk of SR, while a single LLR does not exclude such risk. This has to be considered in the management of patients with LLRs. (Source: Clinical and Molecular Allergy)
