Özet

Bee stings are the most frequently encountered among insect-related emergencies. Often bee stings present only with local allergic reactions; occasionally severe clinical conditions may also be encountered, including polyneuritis, parkinsonism, encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, hemorrhage, hemolytic anemia, and renal disease. A rare case of bee sting with seizure is presented herein.
