The Africanised honey bee, vernacularly known as the ’killer bee’, is a hybrid of the western honey bee species. These bees tend to be more aggressive with a greater tendency for swarm formation. Their stings are frequently encountered with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from local to systemic effects, even with recorded fatalities. We report a case of an elderly man, who experienced a cerebrovascular event confirmed by neuroimaging within 24 hours after a multitude of Africanised honey bee stings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
