title: [Allergy to mosquitoes and use of new immunobiological parameters].
abstract: With regard to an observation of anaphylaxis after a mosquito bite, we have shown by new immunobiological parameters and clinical investigations: Skin tests, specific IgE, Tests of Activation of basophils by flow cytometry (on basophils and total blood) and measurement of Leucotriene LTC4, the objective reality of the mechanism of IgE-dependent hypersensitivity (HS). This observation is correlated with rare work in support of true IgE-mediated allergy to mosquito 9 authors having used skin tests, PK in 1984 and immunoblot.
