A different reason for cerebrovascular disease

Acute ischemic stroke and severe multiorgan dysfunction due to multiple bee stings

“…Multiple stings can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, generalized edema, dyspnoea, rhabdomyolysis, intravascular hemolysis, and renal failure 8 . Neurologic reactions, including stroke after bee stings, are very rare 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…”

“…Infrequently, a reaction to Hymenoptera venom produces neurologic, cardiovascular and urologic symptoms, with signs of encephalopathy, neuritis, vasculitis, and nephrosis 2 . Neurologic manifestations are rare in bee venom poisoning 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Stroke and multi-organ dysfunction after bee stings are extremely rare 9 .…”

Unexpected complication of bee sting; left middle cerebral artery infarction

“…Although adults may endure more than 1000 bee bites, sensitive individuals may develop anaphylactic reaction after one bite. Even though it is variable, systemic vulnerability rises after every bite, and developing reactions are more severe [6]. Systemic toxic reactions may develop depending on the dose and structure of bee venom and they may begin in the first hours and may last for several days.…”

“…They demand a long-lasting monitoring. Mild and transient local symptoms or life-threatening allergic reactions happen usually in bee sting cases [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Neurologic complications include seizure, hemiparesis, aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, ataxia, coma and hemichorea [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Neurologic complications after bee sting are even rarer [4]. There are few cases of stroke related to bee stings reported in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. We report a left middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke in a 73-year-old right-handed woman following bee stings.…”
