Abstract:
We describe a case of multiple African bee stings in which the exceptionally high dose suggests a direct effect of hymenoptera venom on the renal tubules. The case does not follow the previously reported pattern of hypovolemic or anaphylactic shock, hemolysis and/or rhabdomyolysis, despite the potentially lethal amount of venom injected.
