Therefore, we included all types of venom therapy including both bee and wasp venoms. BSA, BVA, SBV, and apitoxin injections usually involve the use of venom derived from bees (family Apidae), whereas VIT generally involves the use of venom from bees (family Apidae) and wasps (family Vespidae) concomitantly. In this review, we included studies of bee sting acupuncture (BSA), a subcutaneous or intramuscular injection of bee venom for the purpose of acupoint stimulation (bee venom acupuncture, sweet bee venom ), and dried honeybee venom (apitoxin injections), as well as subcutaneous VIT for desensitization of venom immune reactions. The aim of this systematic review was to provide summary information regarding the types of AEs related to BVT and their prevalence in treated patients. It is therefore necessary to determine the prevalence and nature of AEs related to various types of BVT, so that bee venom can be used safely in clinical practice. The most significant issue related to the AEs of BVT is that the occurrence of SAEs is unpredictable. In another survey, 12.13% patients who received VIT experienced SRs (an average of 1.91 SR events per subject), suggesting that serious adverse events (SAEs) due to BVT are quite common. In a recent survey, the incidence of systematic reactions (SRs) in patients who received venom and inhaled-allergen subcutaneous immunotherapy was 13.60%, whereas the prevalence of SRs in patients that received bee venom immunotherapy (VIT) was 28.72%.

Īlthough the therapeutic utility of bee venom has been demonstrated, its safety profile is an important limiting consideration, because immune responses to BVT can range from trivial skin reactions that resolve over several days to life-threatening responses such as anaphylaxis. BVT is also used to desensitize patients to bee stings and thus inhibit allergic reactions. The diverse therapeutic applications of BVT include various musculoskeletal conditions, such as arthritis and rheumatism, chronic recalcitrant neuralgia, arthralgia, and immune-related diseases.

Bee venom therapy (BVT), in which bee venom is used for medicinal purposes, is available worldwide, but is primarily utilized in Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America. Bee venom is one of the most commonly encountered animal venoms and consists of various chemical agents that induce allergic reactions in the human body.
