Bee- And Wasp-Venom Sensitization in Schoolchildren of High- And Low-Socioeconomic Status Living in an Urban Area of Indonesia

Abstract

Sensitization against bee- or wasp-venom is quite prevalent among schoolchildren in Indonesia. The discordance between SPT and sIgE might suggest the direct (non-IgE) effect of venoms in skin reactivity. Recorded sensitizations had poor clinical relevance as they rarely translated into clinical symptoms.
