Syndrome Guillain-Barré secondaire à une immunothérapie aux venins d’hyménoptères

Abstract

Allergen immunotherapy (ITA) is the only very effective treatment that modifies the natural history of hymenoptera venom allergy and allows long-term prevention of serious allergic recurrences. However, this therapy can cause adverse effects (AEs) which are mainly anaphylactic and sometimes serious. Neurological complications following allergen immunotherapy are exceptional. We report a rare and unusual case of Guillain-Barré type polyradiculoneuritis occurring during the attack phase of bee venom immunotherapy.
