Abstract
The diagnosis of systemic reactions to insect stings usually presents no difficulty by history and as a rule the diagnosis has been made before the allergist sees the patient. A differentiation between local and systemic reactions should be made, and although systemic reactions are frequently preceded by increasingly large local reactions with previous stings, a great many people have large local reactions accompanying successive stings, over many years, without ever developing systemic sensitivity.Keywords
