Description
The main allergen of the horse fly is its saliva, which enters the human body through the bite of this insect. In addition, during a horse fly bite, its metabolic products may also enter the human body, which can also cause sensitization of the organism to these antigens. Allergy manifestations can be both local reactions in the form of allergic dermatitis and general ones – urticaria, Quincke's edema, anaphylactic shock. Determination of specific immunoglobulin E to this allergen in increased amounts indicates the presence of organism sensitization to this allergen.
