fever and sometimes lymphadenopathy, occurring a few hours after bytes
that recovers in 3-10 days. It is sustained by IgG and IgE against
mosquito saliva. |

Eosinophilic cellulitis |
Chronic active Ebstein-Barr virus (CAEBV) disease |
In patients with
Epstein-Barr virus-associated T/natural-killer cell-associated
lymphoproliferative disorders/primary or acquired immunodeficiencies
reactions to mosquito bites involve an intense skin reaction associated
with systemic symptoms. T CD4+ lymphocytes play a dominant
role. |
IgE-mediated allergy |
From mild wheal and flare reactions or large
local reactions to systemic, life-threatening anaphylactic
