Anaphylaxis

Questions discussed in this category

In a patient with anaphylaxis and loss of consciousness from stinging insect, suspected to be yellow jacket, the sIgE was significantly positive to all vespids, but honeybee and paper wasp were only 0.44, would you evaluate further with skin testing to wasp and decide on including wasp in treatment based on skin testing being positive or include it with just the low IgE level?
