Kidney injury in a dog following bee sting-associated anaphylaxis

Gareth James Buckley et al. Can Vet J. 2017 Mar.

Abstract
in English, French

This report describes a case of honeybee envenomation in a dog that developed anaphylaxis after being stung by approximately 10 bees. The dog subsequently developed acute kidney injury. The dog had a previous mild increase in blood urea nitrogen with normal creatinine, possibly indicating an insidious chronic renal degenerative process that went into acute decompensation at the time of bee envenomation.

Lésion rénale chez un chien après l’anaphylaxie associée à une piqûre d’abeille. Ce rapport décrit un cas d’envenimement d’un chien qui a été piqué par environ 10 abeilles et a développé l’anaphylaxie puis une lésion rénale aiguë. Le chien avait eu une légère hausse antérieure de l’azote uréique du sang avec une créatinine normale, ce qui indique éventuellement un processus dégénératif rénal chronique insidieux qui s’est développé en une décompensation aiguë au moment de l’envenimement par les abeilles.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
