    Author: Sabbah A, Sainte-Laudy J, Hassoun S, Drouet M, Lauret MG, Loiry ML.
    Journal: Allerg Immunol (Paris); 1997 May; 29(5):126-8. PubMed ID: 9254117.
    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.
