Molecular diagnosis and molecular risk profiles are the key areas addressed.The appearance of new species of hymenoptera that are potentially allergenic in Spain and the associated diagnostic and therapeutic problems are also described.Finally, we analyze the issue of mast cell activation syndrome closely related to hymenoptera allergy, which has become a new diagnostic challenge for allergists given its high prevalence in patients with venom anaphylaxis. %K Hymenoptera %K Molecular diagnosis %K Venom immunotherapy %K Polistes dominula %K Mastocytosis %K Quality-of-life %K Api m 1 %K Yellow jacket venom %K Mast-cell disorders %K Rves v 5 %K Honeybee venom %K Wasp venom %K Immunoglobulin-e %K Sting challenge %K Serum tryptase %~
