Abstract
Occasionally, insect bites producing systemic complications are the re ason for admission to paediatric intensive care. We report an interest ing case of multiple bee stings in a 2-year-old boy. The boy, who was stung more than 200 times by honey bees, had a severely deranged coagu lation profile with marked elevation of the hepatic enzymes. This comp lication has not been reported to date. Prompt intensive supportive ca re led to the child's total recovery.
