Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening condition which requires immediate intervention. We report a case of unusual etiology of sustained VT in a 42-year-old male after a wasp bite in the absence of anaphylaxis. The patient was treated with amiodarone and improved within 48 h. Thus, wasp stings can lead to serious tachyarrhythmias which can be life-threatening. Emergency care physicians should be aware of such arrhythmias in the setting of wasp bites which can be fatal.
持续性室性心动过速（VT）是一种危及生命的疾病，需要立即进行干预。我们报告一例42岁男性在黄蜂叮咬后发生持续性室性心动过速且病因不寻常的病例，该患者无过敏反应。患者接受了胺碘酮治疗，并在48小时内病情好转。因此，黄蜂蜇伤可导致严重的快速性心律失常，可能危及生命。急诊医生应警惕黄蜂叮咬情况下可能致命的此类心律失常。
