title: [Clinical picture and diagnosis of bee-venom allergy. A comparison between skin tests and RAST determinations].
abstract: Of a group of 53 anamnestically assured bee venom allergies 81.1% positive skin tests (bee whole body extract) as well as 79% positive RAST (bee venom) could be proven. A statistical connection between skin test and clinic reaction degree, as well as between "RAST-clinic reaction degree" and "skin test--RAST" could not be found. The agreement between skin test and RAST results was of 71.7%, the positive correlation of 66%. The problem of the diagnosis and the therapy of allergy to hymenopteren stings is briefly described.
