[Mortal poisoning by bee stings in a child: Study of a case observed in the regional hospital of Maradi (Niger)].

We report a fatal case due to a massive attack by a swarm of bees in a nine-year-old child. The accident was fatal because of two aggravating factors: the cephalic location and the large number of stings (about 300). Complications were coagulopathy, anemia, hemorrhage, coma, and oligoanuria.
