According to research, anaphylactic shock occurs due to insect stings in 20-30 percent of cases. If emergency medical care is not provided, the lives of such patients may end in death.

According to Head of the Center, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Ilmira Razikova insect allergy mainly develops as a result of stings from bees, wasps, hornets, bumblebees, and ants. In such cases, symptoms like weakness, pale skin, itching, shortness of breath, low blood pressure, and fainting are observed in the body. Observations show that this type of allergy is more common in adults than in children.

For the first time in Central Asia, our center launched patient treatment this year, using a special immunotherapy drug made from wasp venom.

It is noteworthy that until now, this treatment method was carried out in only two countries worldwide—Georgia and Turkey. Uzbekistan has now joined their ranks, drawing the attention of the global medical community as the third country to implement this advanced technology.

This immunotherapy method is significant as it works not just to relieve symptoms, but to fundamentally eliminate the cause of the allergy.
