Abstract

Envenomation by the honey bee can cause multi-organ dysfunction as a result of toxic effects and may cause a severe anaphylactic reaction. Acute myocardial ischemia is an extremely rare complication of bee envenomation. We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with acute myocardial injury following massive bee envenomation.
