Hipersensibilidad a la picadura de mosquito manifestada como síndrome de Skeeter

Abstract: Las reacciones por picaduras de mosquito son reacciones inmunológicas con afectación de la hipersensibilidad mediada por IgE, IgG y linfocitos T. Éstas son frecuentes y van desde reacciones locales pequeñas o grandes, hasta reacciones alérgicas sistémicas. El síndrome de Skeeter es una reacción inflamatoria local grande inducida por la picadura de mosquito, en ocasiones acompañada de síntomas sistémicos como fiebre y vómito. El diagnóstico se basa en la historia clínica y la exploración física, con el apoyo de… Show more

“…Having said that, very severe reactions with systemic symptoms to mosquito bites could develop in patients with Epstein-Barr virus-associated T/natural-killer cell-associated lymphoproliferative disorders [10]. However, naturally acquired desensitization to mosquito saliva is more common in children ('skeeter syndrome'), with local allergic reactions that usually improve spontaneously with age, during long-term exposure to mosquito bites or both [11,12]. The reactions to mosquito bites are immunologically mediated in nature, that include severe local and systemic reactions involve immunoglobulin E, immunoglobulin G, and T-lymphocytemediated hypersensitivities in response to allergens in mosquito saliva [13].…”
