    Journal: Folia Med (Plovdiv); 2010; 52(3):74-7. PubMed ID: 21053677.
    Abstract:
    A 73-year old female of no allergic diathesis was attacked by bees and stung all over her body accidentally sustaining more than 518 stings for a very short time. Severe acute poisoning developed from the bee venom, manifested by coma, rhabdomyolysis, toxic hepatitis, acute renal failure, gastric hemorrhage and anemia. Following an active treatment the patient recovered. Literature search shows this to be a rare case of survival after multiple bee stings.
