ABSTRACT: Attacks by swarm of bees realize arrays of mass poisoning.
We report the case of a 9 years old boy whoes severity was related to the large
number of bees which was about 400 and their locations spread throughout the skin
surface with a preponderance to the cephalic end. Complications were hemolytic anemia,
kidney failure and convulsions. The outcome was favorable with symptomatic care
and hemodialysis.
