Local Reactions

Wasps and bees descend from order Hymenoptera. All social wasps belong to family Vespidae. Their stings are not usually life threatening, causing mainly local reactions and rarely anaphylaxis and serious systemic manifestations. Though a few stings cause no major problems, multiple stings can cause serious effects like massive hemolysis, acute renal failure, encephalopathy, multiorgan dysfunction. We report a six years boy with acute renal failure and seizure following multiple wasp stings.

Neurologic Emergency

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is an infrequent, but potentially life-threatening neurologic emergency associated with the use of neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs. A 43 years old male with a history of trigeminal neuralgia developed Neuroleptic malignant syndrome while receiving Carbamazepine and Amitryptylline. Treatment is mainly supportive and includes withdrawal of the neuroleptic medication and, possibly, administration of drugs such as dantrolene and bromocriptine. Complications of NMS include acute renal failure and acute respiratory failure. The possible etiologies, triggering factors and treatment are discussed with reference to existing literature.

Fatal Complications

The manifestations of wasp stings are usually benign and localized at the site of stings but susceptible individuals may present with multisystem and potentially fatal complications like hemolytic anaemia, acute renal failure and shock. We report here a child who developed acute kidney injury seven days after multiple wasp stings. The renal functions recovered with supportive management including two sessions of peritoneal dialysis. This case report highlights that management of some of the wasp stings should be done in consultation with centre which has facilities for dialysis. The management of wasp sting should be started as early as possible and when progressive renal failure ensues, intensive dialysis support results in good renal recovery in majority of survivors.Bangladesh J Child Health 2018; VOL 42 (2) :98-101

Systemic Manifestations

Massive envenomations by bees are capable of causing multiorgan dysfunction as a result of direct toxic effects of the large venom load received. Although all varieties of honey bee have the potential for these attacks, the Africanized honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata) is the most commonly implicated subspecies. In the United States, the Africanized strain is found primarily in the southwestern states and is known for its highly defensive behavior if disturbed. Mechanisms behind the multiorgan dysfunction produced by these mass envenomations are not clearly understood. We present a case of an 8-year-old boy who was stung by multiple bees and developed progressive upper-body swelling and systemic manifestations of mass envenomation including rhabdomyolysis, renal insufficiency, and a transient transaminase elevation.Ibrahim Med.

Objective: We present a patient with pancreatic cancer who developed weakness, acute renal failure and significantly raised creatine kinase levels post-ERCP and who was assessed as having contrast-induced rhabdomyolysis. Results: The patient underwent haemofiltration and ultimately succumbed to his condition. Conclusion: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening condition which occurs because of damage to skeletal muscle, with release of myoglobin and electrolytes into the circulation. The mortality rate is 59% in severe cases, despite appropriate treatment.

Rhabdomyolysis is an acute life-threatening condition that can occur in childhood secondary to many causes. The authors report the case of a 3-year-old male child who presented with acute rhabdomyolysis. The peak plasma creatine kinase level was extremely high. The 2 main causes of rhabdomyolysis in childhood are viral myositis and trauma, which can sometimes lead to acute renal failure. The highest creatine kinase levels reported in the literature so far was a 6-digit level in 2014 case report. In this study, the authors report the case of a 7-digit creatine kinase level in a child secondary to viral myositis who did not require renal dialysis.
