title: [Hymenoptera stings: the atopic person in danger. Allergy to Hymenoptera venoms].
abstract: The author reviews the clinical and therapeutic aspects of hymenoptera sting diseases in children. Lethal anaphylactic reactions are very rare. Progresses in prophylactic treatments of patients with a history of anaphylactic reaction have been made through venom immunotherapy, but a careful analysis of the clinical data must be done before starting such a treatment.
