Wasp stings can cause severe morbidity and mortality. Anaphylaxis, acute kidney injury, multi organ dysfunction and uncommonly nervous system involvement are some of important complications of wasp stings. We report a rare case of wasp stings complicated by acute kidney injury due to possible acute tubule interstitial nephritis and intracerebral hemorrhage in the absence of aneurysm of vessels and coagulation abnormalities.

Abstract


Wasp stings can cause severe morbidity and mortality. Anaphylaxis, acute kidney injury, multi organ dysfunction and uncommonly nervous system involvement are some of important complications of wasp stings. We report a rare case of wasp stings complicated by acute kidney injury due to possible acute tubule interstitial nephritis and intracerebral hemorrhage in the absence of aneurysm of vessels and coagulation abnormalities.
