    Author: Zhang L, Tang Y, Liu F, Shi YY, Cao Y, Xu H, Fu P.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 2012 Jun; 125(11):2070-2. PubMed ID: 22884081.
    Abstract:
    We reported a case of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) following about 300 wasp stings. The diagnosis was based on autopsy findings of acute pulmonary edema, acute kidney injury, hepatic and cardiac dysfunction, and cerebral edema. MODS is a life-threatening complication, and should be considered a possibility after multiple wasp stings. Our autopsy helped to establish the cause of unexpected death due to wasp stings and to elucidate a possible mechanism of MODS.
