Hymenoptera venom allergy: analysis of double positivity to honey bee and <i>Vespula</i> venom by estimation of IgE antibodies to species‐specific major allergens Api m1 and Ves v5

Abstract

Double positivity of IgE to bee and Vespula venom is often caused by crossreactions, especially to CCDs. IgE to both Api m1 and Ves v5 indicates true double sensitization and immunotherapy with both venoms.
