    Author: Sharmila RR, Chetan G, Narayanan P, Srinivasan S.
    Journal: Indian J Pediatr; 2007 Dec; 74(12):1111-2. PubMed ID: 18174648.
    Abstract:
    Wasp stings have been associated with wide variety of reactions from mild local reaction like wheal formation to fatal systemic reactions. Life threatening complications following a single wasp sting are relatively rare and unexpected. We report here the clinical course of a 12 year old child who developed Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) and died after a single wasp sting.
