Bee sting in most situations is life threatening. Spectrum of bee sting ranges from mild local reaction to death. The literature regarding the bee sting disease from India is sparse. The rare manifestations of the disease include encephalitis, polyneuritis, myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, bleeding manifestations, and renal failure. Bee sting infections are rare and no field studies have been performed to determine the exact sequence of events that lead to infection of bee stings and if not treated properly can lead to fatal outcomes. Here we present a case of unusual bilateral empyema associated with bee sting.
在大多数情况下,蜜蜂蜇伤会危及生命。蜜蜂蜇伤的表现范围从轻微的局部反应到死亡。来自印度的关于蜜蜂蜇伤疾病的文献很少。该疾病的罕见表现包括脑炎、多发性神经炎、心肌梗死、肺水肿、出血表现和肾衰竭。蜜蜂蜇伤感染很罕见,尚未进行实地研究来确定导致蜜蜂蜇伤感染的确切事件顺序,若治疗不当可能导致致命后果。在此,我们报告一例与蜜蜂蜇伤相关的罕见双侧脓胸病例。
