A case of post bee sting encephalitis

Abstract

Bee Sting in most of the situations is potentially serious. The spectrum of bee sting disease 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. Here we are reporting a rare case of encephalitis developing 3 days following the bee sting.
