  • Title: Corneal bee sting with retained stinger.
    Author: Smith DG, Roberge RJ.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 2001 Feb; 20(2):125-8. PubMed ID: 11207405.
    Abstract:
    Bee stings of the cornea are rarely reported, but have the potential for causing serious ophthalmologic injuries. We present a case of corneal bee sting with retained stinger apparatus and associated iritis and discuss the pathologic mechanisms of injury, evaluation, and treatment of these uncommon presentations.
