Wasp and bee stings are common in Sri Lanka, and systemic envenomation causes a spectrum of clinical manifestations that includes simple local allergic reaction to life-threatening multiple organ injury or failure. However, wasp toxin-induced acute myocardial infarction is very rare in the literature. Here, we describe a pregnant lady with mass wasp stings who developed toxin-induced acute myocardial infarction with multiorgan injury. The treating physician should anticipate the complications of massive envenomation following multiple wasp stings.
在斯里兰卡，黄蜂和蜜蜂蜇伤很常见，全身中毒会引发一系列临床表现，包括从简单的局部过敏反应到危及生命的多器官损伤或衰竭。然而，黄蜂毒素诱发的急性心肌梗死在文献中非常罕见。在此，我们描述一位被大量黄蜂蜇伤的孕妇，她出现了毒素诱发的急性心肌梗死并伴有多器官损伤。治疗医生应预见到多次黄蜂蜇伤后大量中毒的并发症。
