Abstract
Wasps and bees descend from order Hymenoptera. All social wasps belong to family Vespidae. Their stings
are not usually life threatening, causing mainly local reactions and rarely anaphylaxis and serious systemic
manifestations. Though a few stings cause no major problems, multiple stings can cause serious effects
like massive hemolysis, acute renal failure, encephalopathy, multiorgan dysfunction. We report a six years
boy with acute renal failure and seizure following multiple wasp stings.
