Sting and Aversion-Severe Mosquito Bite Allergy

Abstract

Severe mosquito bite allergy manifests as an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of natural killer (NK) cell subtype of chronic active Epstein Barr viral (CAEBV) infection. Predominantly documented in Japan, severe mosquito bite allergy characteristically delineates hypersensitivity to mosquito bites. Severe mosquito bite allergy is designated as an Epstein Barr virus (EBV+) induced NK cell lymphoproliferative disorder and represents as a cutaneous variant of chronic active Epstein Barr virus (CAEBV) infection.
