Wasp Venoms (Venom, Wasp)

Venoms produced by the wasp (Vespid) family of stinging insects, including hornets; the venoms contain enzymes, biogenic amines, histamine releasing factors, kinins, toxic polypeptides, etc., and are similar to bee venoms.

1.	Hypersensitivity (Allergy) 06/01/2015 - "Studies assessing clinical reactivity in HVA indicate that male sex and vespid venom allergy are factors increasing the risk of severe allergic reactions. " 07/01/2011 - "Eleven patients with allergic reactions to bee or wasp venoms participated in the study. " 07/01/2010 - "Two hundred and seventy-four consecutive patients visiting the Department of Dermatology, Tübingen, Germany, who were diagnosed with honeybee or wasp venom allergy, were included in the study. " 01/01/2006 - "Twenty-four patients with wasp venom allergy were included in the study. " 11/01/2003 - "In the present study we aimed (i) to establish a mouse model of wasp venom allergy, mimicking the natural mode of sensitization, and (ii) to develop a prophylactic treatment strategy based on mucosal tolerance induction, using one major wasp venom allergen in recombinant form, i.e. "
2.	Anaphylaxis (Anaphylactic Shock) 01/01/2000 - "In effect, our patient presented an anaphylactic reaction with neurological complications from attack on the central grey nucleus, shown by IRM; the immunological study showed a common protein between wasp venom and the total extracts of mosquito and horsefly." 01/01/2012 - "Each year in the UK, there are between two and nine deaths from anaphylaxis caused by bee and wasp venom. " 05/01/2007 - "The BAT is a reliable instrument for the diagnosis of wasp venom anaphylaxis and might constitute an instrument to monitor wasp VIT." 05/01/1999 - "Evaluation of the risk of anaphylactic reactions by wasp venom-extract challenges in children." 07/01/1996 - "We report the case of a patient who suffered two epileptic attacks, each one associated with an anaphylactic shock due to wasp venom. "
3.	Asthma (Bronchial Asthma) 11/01/2008 - "Injection immunotherapy has been shown to be particularly beneficial in treating allergic rhinitis, mild to moderate asthma, and anaphylaxis caused by bee and wasp venom. " 05/01/2001 - "The effectivity of specific immunotherapy is well documented for bee and wasp venom allergy, pollinosis and more and more also for asthma bronchiale. " 08/01/2000 - "Conventional immunotherapy using whole allergen extracts has been shown to be an effective, disease-modifying treatment in carefully selected patients with allergic conjunctivo-rhinitis, asthma and bee and wasp venom hypersensitivity. " 06/01/2013 - "Although anti-IgE antibody (Ab) therapy was recently shown to be effective in patients with bronchial asthma, no study has reported the effect of IgE therapy in the prevention of wasp venom anaphylaxis. "
4.	Mastocytosis (Mast-Cell Disease) 05/01/2014 - "In mastocytosis patients with WVA, dose-dependent wasp-venom induced upregulation of CD63 and CD203c expression on basophils was observed compared with mastocytosis patients without WVA.

"
5.	Renal Insufficiency (Renal Failure) 11/01/2014 - "Both the patients recovered completely after a period of few weeks, highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment of renal failure from wasp venom." 12/01/2001 - "Compared with previously reported cases of acute renal failure associated with bee stings, our patient is unique in that his renal failure was caused by a hypersensitivity reaction apparently to the wasp venom." 12/01/2005 - "Although acute renal failure after wasp stings is typically caused by acute tubular necrosis in the setting of haemolysis or rhabdomyolysis, in some patients, renal failure may result from a direct nephrotoxic effect or acute interstitial nephritis from a hypersensitivity reaction to the wasp venom."
