Article Synopsis
- Giant Asian honey bee stings can lead to serious health issues, including allergic reactions and organ damage, particularly in rural Sri Lanka.
- A case study highlights a patient stung over 1000 times, developing symptoms of hemolytic anemia and acute organ failure likely linked to thrombotic microangiopathy.
- The patient improved through careful management without needing invasive treatments like plasma exchange, raising questions about the effectiveness of such procedures in similar cases.
