Case Reports
Acute myocardial injury and rhabdomyolysis caused by multiple bee stings
J Assoc Physicians India.
2011 Aug.
Abstract
Massive envenomation by honey bees is capable of causing multiorgan dysfunction as a result of direct toxic effect of massive envenomation and secondary to systemic anaphylactic reactions. Acute myocardial ischemia due to bee envenomation is a rare event. We report the case of a 65 year old lady who presented with acute myocardial ischemia, severe rhabdomyolysis and angioedema following massive bee envenomation.
