“…The pain requires analgesia morphine; we got a good result with paracetamol associated with nefopam. A similar case to ours has been reported in Morocco with a favorable evolution thanks to an early symptomatic care and a ptosis sequel after conjunctivitis [12]. The prognosis is correlated with plasma concentrations of venom aplasmapheresis may be useful in severe forms.…”

Attacks by swarm of bees realize arrays of mass poisoning. We report the case of a 9 years old boy whoes severity was related to the large number of bees which was about 400 and their locations spread throughout the skin surface with a preponderance to the cephalic end. Complications were hemolytic anemia, kidney failure and convulsions. The outcome was favorable with symptomatic care and hemodialysis.

“…Bee stings are considered a public health problem in Latin America, where they are frequent and responsible for a significant number of deaths [10]. Even in Africa, cases of bee stings have been reported, notably in Morocco [4]. The lethal threshold generally ranges between 300 and 500 stings; however, in some cases, simultaneous stings can be deadly, and for this patient, the number was estimated at 70.…”

“…Bee venom injection can lead to pain, fever, swelling, and multi-visceral involvement in affected individuals. The injected venoms are harmful either due to their quantity (multiple stings) or because the stung individual is allergic [3,4]. Bee stings can induce various clinical manifestations that jeopardize the patient's life.…”

Renal and hemorrhagic complications following envenomation by bee stings are rare, posing significant problems for early diagnosis and treatment in the clinical setting. Bee venom is generally well tolerated. A 44-year-old patient was admitted to the infectious and tropical diseases department of the Zinder National Hospital with cervicofacial edema following bee stings. Initially, the patient lost consciousness. Respiratory symptoms included dyspnea and 91% desaturation on room air. The patient was put on oxygen to alleviate hypoxia, doxycycline to prevent secondary bacterial infections, and prednisone to reduce inflammation. The clinical picture was complicated by a worsening of the patient's condition due to a deterioration in renal function, and the subsequent appearance of hematemesis. A renal biopsy revealed acute tubulointerstitial nephropathy, due to direct venom toxicity on the tubules. He was discharged after 35 days. We report a rare case of bee sting complicated by hemorrhagic syndrome and renal involvement.

Introduction: We are reporting a deadly case of massive bee stings observed in a 7-year-old child in Ouagadougou. Observation: The first symptoms, which appeared two hours after the stings of about 200 bees, motivated a consultation in a nearby dispensary in which the child received intravenous betamethasone before being referred to the University Hospital Center Yalgado Ouédraogo (CHUYO). Seven hours after the accident, a rapid deterioration in the general condition was noted with hemorrhage, respiratory distress, coma, and shock. A grade 3 anaphylaxis was diagnosed. The patient didn't survive despite of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation using adrenaline in intensive care. Conclusion: The massive bee stings have caused a severe biphasic anaphylactic reaction which could not be reversed by the adrenaline administered in the second phase. The development of a protocol would contribute to a better management of the cases.
