dc.description.abstractUna mujer de 27 años padeció un episodio de anafi laxia después de haber sido picada por hormigas rojas (Solenopsis invicta) presentes en maderas procedentes de Sudamérica que estaba manipulando. La paciente no había sufrido anteriormente reacciones alérgicas por picadura de himenópteros. Las pruebas intradérmicas con veneno de Vespula vulgaris, Polistes, y Apis melifera fueron negativas. La IgE específi ca a S invicta fue positiva (5,28 kU/L) y fue negativa para Vespula, Polistes, A. melifera, Ves v 5 y Pol a 5. Ensayos de inmunodetección indicaron la presencia de IgE sérica contra el alérgeno Sol i 2. La paciente probablemente había sido picada con anterioridad y de modo inadvertido por hormigas rojas presentes en las maderas que estaba manipulando y, en consecuencia, es importante tomar precauciones en el manejo de estos materiales. Según nuestro conocimiento, este es el primer caso descrito en Europa de anafilaxia por picadura de hormiga roja americana.es_ES
dc.description.abstractA 27-year-old woman suffered from anaphylaxis after being stung by Solenopsis invicta ants while she was handling wood from South America. The patient reported no previous adverse reactions to stings by other hymenopteran species. Intradermal skin tests with hymenoptera venom (Vespula vulgaris, Polistes species, Apis melifera) were negative. Serum specific immunoglobulin (Ig) E yielded positive results for S invicta (5.28 kU/L) and negative results for A melifera, Ves v 5 and Pol a 5. Immunodetection assays showed the presence of serum IgE against the Sol i 2 allergen. The patient had probably been stung previously although inadvertently by red fire ants while she handled infested wood from South America, and precautionary measures are thus advisable when this material is to be handled. To our knowledge this is the first case of anaphylaxis from red fire ant stings reported in Europe.es_ES
