title: [Reactions caused by Hymenoptera: a first aid problem].
abstract: The incidence of reactions to insect bites both local (erythema, pemphigus, oedema, itching) and systemic (urticaria, angioedema, anaphylactic shock) in Borgomanero (NO) National Health Clinic 54 was assessed. The high incidence of medical treatments for this pathology encountered reflects the fact that in the summer and in a rural area a great many people are exposed to this type of emergency. The importance of careful diagnosis (anamnesis, skin allergy tests, RAST is emphasised as a means of identifying cases at allergic risk and providing the appropriate immunotherapy.
