  • Title: RRH: envenoming syndrome due to 200 stings from Africanized honeybees.
    Author: Silva GA, Pires KL, Soares DC, Ferreira MR, Ferry FR, Motta RN, Azevedo MC.
    Journal: Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo; 2013; 55(1):61-4. PubMed ID: 23328728.
    Abstract:
    Envenoming syndrome from Africanized bee stings is a toxic syndrome caused by the inoculation of large amounts of venom from multiple bee stings, generally more than five hundred. The incidence of severe toxicity from Africanized bee stings is rare but deadly. This report reveals that because of the small volume of distribution, having fewer stings does not exempt a patient from experiencing an unfavorable outcome, particularly in children, elderly people or underweight people.
