ALERGIA EN EL HUMANO INDUCIDA POR LA SALIVA DE INSECTOS DE LA FAMILIA CULICIDAE

a review was made of the molecules which are inoculated by insects from the family culicidae when biting and the mechanisms used by their hosts to contract them, as well as some of these molecules, especially enzymes which become allergens inducing a broad spectrum response ranging from a papule when being bitten to a full-blown anaphylactic reaction. the possibility of diagnosis using wild molecules and recombinant antigens was also analyzed, as well as treatment guidelines.
