Abstract
Bee stings commonly result in minor reactions, but severe cases can lead to systemic complications including anaphylaxis and multiorgan dysfunction. We present a case of an 8-year-old child experiencing severe bee sting envenomation, manifesting as various organ dysfunctions including acute kidney injury and acute pancreatitis. Renal replacement therapy was effective in managing renal dysfunction. Further research is warranted to explore targeted antivenom therapies for severe bee sting reactions. Prompt recognition and a multidisciplinary approach are crucial for successful management. Further research into specific treatments is needed to improve outcomes in such cases.
