Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a well-documented complication of massive attack by Africanised bees and can be observed 48-72 h after the accident. We report a case of Africanised bees attack followed by severe and lethal AKI. A 56-year-old man was admitted to emergency department after a massive attack of Africanised bees (>1000 bee stings). He was unconscious, presenting with hypotension and tachycardia. Mechanical ventilation, volume expansion and care for anaphylaxis were instituted. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU) and after 48 h he developed rhabdomyolysis, oliguria, increased creatinine levels, hyperkalaemia and refractory acidosis. A diagnosis of AKI secondary to rhabdomyolysis and shock was made. The patient was treated with a prolonged course of haemodialysis. However, he progressed to refractory shock and died 5 days after admission.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Estes casos geralmente estão relacionados à sobreposição de uso do espaço entre o homem e animais, a atividade biológica dos animais, ao comportamento das espécies peçonhentas no ambiente e ao tipo de atividade desenvolvida pela vítima. 7 Todos os anos, no Brasil, ocorrem cerca de 100 mil acidentes por animais peçonhentos, resultando em 220 mortes e cerca de 1000 pacientes sofrem sequelas após uma picada de cobra.…”

Quanto às vítimas, prevaleceram indivíduos do sexo masculino (76,5%), na faixa etária entre 30 a 49 anos (41,2%), de raça parda (72,1%), com ensino fundamental (55,9%) envolvidos em atividades do campo como agricultura e pecuária (41,2%). Predominaram os acidentes de gravidade moderada (48,5%) e todos os casos graves foram provocados por serpentes. Na maioria dos agravos (75,0%), não foi registrada relação entre o acidente e a atividade ocupacional. As regiões corpóreas mais atingidas foram pé (39,7%), perna (20,6%) e mão (11,8%). As manifestações locais predominantes foram dor, edema e equimose. As manifestações sistêmicas de maior ocorrência foram hemorrágicas e vagais. Conclusão:Portanto, o período avaliado foi caracterizado pelo predomínio de acidentes com serpentes, no sexo masculino, em atividades do campo e de gravidade moderada. Assim, campanhas educativas e a adoção de medidas de prevenção são fundamentais para diminuir o registro desses agravos neste município. Background and Objectives:Accidents with poisonous animals are a public health problem in Brazil, especially in countryside cities. Updated regional information is important for the development of epidemiological surveillance activities. Through this research, we determined the epidemiological aspects of the cases registered in Nova Xavantina, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil, from January 2007 to May 2013. Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive epidemiological study. Results: In this period, 68 accidents occurred, of which 44 were caused by snakes, 19 by scorpions, and four by spiders. Most accidents with snakes were caused by the genera Bothrops (79.5%), Crotalus (11.5%), and Micrurus (2.3%). As for the victims, there was a prevalence of males (76.5%), aged between 30 and 49 years (41.2%) of mixed race (72.1%), with basic education (55.9%) involved in field activities, such as agriculture and livestock (41.2%).There was a predominance of accidents of moderate severity (48.5%) and all serious cases were caused by snakes. In most injuries (75%), the relationship between the accidents and occupational activities was not recorded. The most affected body regions were the feet (39.7%), legs (20.6%), and hands (11.8%). The predominant local manifestations were pain, swelling, and bruising. The predominant systemic manifestations were hemorrhage, nausea and vomiting. Conclusion: The study period was characterized by the predominance of accidents involving snakes and male individuals in field activities and of moderate severity. Thus, educational campaigns and the adoption of preventive measures are essential to reduce the occurrence of these diseases in this city. http://dx.doi.org/10.17058/reci.v5i3.5724 ARTIGO ORIGINAL RESUMO ABSTRACT
