LID - 10.1007/s11882-014-0449-1 [doi]
AB  - Venom immunotherapy (VIT) is the most effective form of specific immunotherapy to 
      date. Hitherto, several relevant queries remain unanswered, namely optimal doses, 
      duration, and means of assessment. Important progress has been lately made in 
      terms of diagnosis by means of component-resolved diagnosis. Moreover, basophil 
      activation test results in patients with negative serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      and skin prick test confer this technique a promising future, although these 
      outcomes shall be considered with caution. This review aims to unravel the 
      important advances made on diagnosis, management, and prognosis and also focuses 
      on several undetermined aspects of VIT.
