Popis: A bee sting can be a serious problem that affects people all over the world. Several clinical manifestations of bee sting have been described elsewhere. Furthermore, local allergic reactions are more common, causing pain, redness, and swelling of soft tissue within a few hours. In some cases, severe neurological deficits that can lead to death have been reported. According to the literature, the onset of neurological symptoms can range from 30 seconds to 96 hours. Herein, we present the case of a 48-year-old man who developed allergic encephalitis and toxic hepatitis as a result of multiple bee stings.
