Abstract

A case of death after anaphylactic reaction to a vespid is reported. The antecedent of the patient, the RAST and the RAST-Inhibition results and the geographical distribution of the vespids indicate that the responsible species was "Polistes dominulus". The pathologic finding supported that the cause of the death was an anaphylactic reaction without coexistence of any previous cardiovascular disease or other coexisting agent that could precipitate the fatal outcome.
