Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following single wasp sting

R Rathi Sharmila et al. Indian J Pediatr. 2007 Dec.

Abstract

Wasp stings have been associated with wide variety of reactions from mild local reaction like wheal formation to fatal systemic reactions. Life threatening complications following a single wasp sting are relatively rare and unexpected. We report here the clinical course of a 12 year old child who developed Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) and died after a single wasp sting.
