Wasp stings with multisystem dysfunction.
The insect order of Hymenoptera includes bees, hornets, wasps and fire-ants. Their stings are not usually life threatening, causing mainly local reactions and rarely anaphylaxis. This is a report of an 18 month old child who survived after an unusually severe envenomation, resulting in encephalopathy, hypertension, coagulopathy, intra-vascular hemolysis, hepatic and renal failure, following mul...
متن کاملActin polymerization: Where the WASP stings
How do extracellular signals induce actin polymerization, as required for many cellular responses? Key signal transducers, such as the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac, have now been shown to link via proteins of the WASP family to the Arp2/3 complex, which nucleates actin polymerization.
متن کاملAcute renal failure following multiple wasp stings.
Wasp bite induced ATN from direct venom toxicity is very rare. We report two such cases. The first case was a 14 years old boy admitted with oliguria following multiple wasp stings. He had grossly deranged renal function requiring hemodialysis support. The other patient was a 24 years old man admitted with similar history and also required hemodialysis support. Renal biopsy in both cases was co...
متن کاملAnaphylaxis from Wasp Stings Inducing Coronary Thrombus
Myocardial infarction as a result of wasp stings is a rare manifestation of acute coronary syndromes. It has been ascribed to kounis syndrome or allergic angina whose triggers include mast cell degranulation leading to coronary vasospasm and/or local plaque destabilisation. Its exact pathophysiology is still not clearly defined. We present a case of an acute coronary syndrome as a consequence o...
متن کاملRhabdomyolysis due to Multiple Wasp Stings
Wasp sting is a relatively common arthropod assault, but is sometimes fatal because of anaphylaxis. Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition, with destruction of striated muscles, and can be induced by various causes such as drugs, heart attacks, CRASH syndrome, and viper bites. Mass envenomation by multiple wasp stings can also cause rhabdomyolysis followed by acute renal failure, although it is ...
