蜂螫後血管阻塞：病例報告暨文獻回顧

Abstract

Allergic reactions to wasp stings range from large local reactions to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Of the anaphylactic shock occurring outside the hospital, wasp stings was concluded to be the second cause following drug allergy. Cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack have been reported in the setting of acute anaphylactic shock due to wasp stings. However, there are fewer reports about the presentation of large vessels occlusion outside the brain after wasp stings. Here we report on a woman suffering from a stroke and right above-knee amputation after a severe wasp sting. We had a literature review in the light of the particular complication and her dual disability.
