“…However, multiple stings after attack by a swarm introduces large doses of venom into the circulation, causing severe multisystemic effects, including hemolysis; rhabdomyolysis; coagulation, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, and nervous system disorders; hypertension; and AKI. [214][215][216][217][218] Of particular note are the Africanized honeybees found in LA, generated because of interbreeding between African honeybees that escaped from a Brazilian facility and European honeybees. They are much more aggressive than their predecessors and caused a spike in the number of cases in the region.…”

South and Southeast Asia and Latin American together comprise 46 countries and are home to approximately 40% of the world population. The sociopolitical and economic heterogeneity, tropical climate, and malady transitions characteristic of the region strongly influence disease behavior and health care delivery. Acute kidney injury epidemiology mirrors these inequalities. In addition to hospital-acquired acute kidney injury in tertiary care centers, these countries face a large preventable burden of community-acquired acute kidney injury secondary to tropical infectious diseases or animal venoms, affecting previously healthy young individuals. This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical picture, prevention, risk factors, and pathophysiology of acute kidney injury associated with tropical diseases (malaria, dengue, leptospirosis, scrub typhus, and yellow fever) and animal venom (snakes, bees, caterpillars, spiders, and scorpions) in tropical regions of Asia and Latin America, and discusses the potential future challenges due to emerging issues.

“…In Mexico between 1998 and 2009, there were 480 deaths associated with bee stings 5 . Cardiovascular events after bee stings have mostly been described in relation to anaphylactic shock, although several reports have underlined the relevance of the direct action of the venom on the heart and the coronary circulation, even causing myocardial infarction [6][7][8][9] .…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the case of a 19-year-old male presenting with bradycardia and hypotension after a honeybee sting making a review of the literature and pathophysiology of the cardiovascular and electrocardiogram (EKG) changes after a bee sting. Methods: The patient's airway was inspected and secured. Electrocardiogram with an idioventricular rhythm at 41' bpm. Oxygen was administered, an intravenous access was established, and the transcutaneous pacemaker leads were placed on the chest of the patient, then published guidelines management was induced. Results: The EKG showed idioventricular rhythm at a rate of 41 beats/min that resolved to a normal sinus rhythm after treatment. Conclusions: A full and prompt cardiovascular evaluation should be performed in all patients presenting to the emergency department after a bee sting, and published guidelines regarding the management of bradycardia and anaphylaxis should be followed to achieve successful outcomes.

“…The actual etiology of KS is still unclear. Antibiotics are the most frequent triggers [3,[13], [14], [15]], although insect bites [[16], [17], [18]], anticancer drugs [[19], [20], [21], [22], [23]], bee stings [[24], [25], [26], [27], [28]], and anesthetics [29,30] have also been reported to be causative factors. Despite its rare incidence, improvement in awareness of KS among physicians might have led to the recent increase in case reports related to KS.…”

Kounis syndrome (KS) is an acute coronary disorder associated with anaphylactic reactions. The purpose of this report is to identify the features of KS triggered by contrast media on the basis of our experience and from literature review.We have described a case and literature review of KS triggered by injection of contrast media. Including the present case, we reviewed eleven cases of KS. Six cases developed KS in diagnostic radiology departments.KS could be induced by intravenous injection of contrast media in the radiology department. Radiologists should recognize this critical condition to ensure appropriate management.
