The honeybee sting challenge is considered a reliable procedure to evaluate the efficacy of specific immunotherapy, but it is difficult and unpractical to perform in clinical practice, since live insects are required. We assessed the feasibility and reliability of a challenge test using a micro-sirynge, and compared the procedure to sting challenge.

Abstract
The honeybee sting challenge is considered a reliable procedure to evaluate the efficacy of specific immunotherapy, but it is difficult and unpractical to perform in clinical practice, since live insects are required. We assessed the feasibility and reliability of a challenge test using a micro-sirynge, and compared the procedure to sting challenge.
