| Popis: | Hornet's venom is known to possess a variety of toxic effects. A 19-mo-old girl who developed a Reye-like syndrome following multiple stings by the Oriental hornet (Vespa orientalis) is described. She presented with encephalopathy associated with hepatomegaly, elevated transaminase levels, low prothrombin time, and hyperammonemia. Liver biopsy demonstrated microvesicular fatty infiltration and diffuse mitochondrial changes. Additional features were acute renal tubular necrosis and massive hemolysis. |
