Abstract：
Honeybee bites are a common public health hazard, the incidence of which is gradually increasing. A bee sting incident involving more than fifty stings is categorized as massive envenomation. The clinical manifestations of honey bee stings can range from localized symptoms to severe allergic and systemic reactions.This case study presents a 60-year-old male who experienced multi-organ failure following a severe bee sting incident. According to our research, this is the first documented instance in Somalia of multi-organ failure resulting from a sting by a giant honey bee. The case highlights the potential severity of bee stings, which, while often considered minor, can lead to serious medical complications. Interestingly, despite the patient suffering numerous stings and receiving a substantial amount of venom, an immediate anaphylactic reaction did not occur. Instead, a delayed severe response leading to multi-organ failure emerged within 48 hours of the incident.
摘要：
蜜蜂叮咬是一种常见的公共卫生危害，其发病率正在逐渐增加。涉及50多次叮咬的蜜蜂叮咬事件被归类为大规模的毒害。蜜蜂叮咬的临床表现可以从局部症状到严重的过敏和全身反应。本案例研究介绍了一名60岁的男性，他在严重的蜜蜂叮咬事件后经历了多器官衰竭。根据我们的研究,这是索马里第一个有记录的由巨型蜜蜂叮咬导致多器官衰竭的案例。这个案例凸显了蜜蜂叮咬的潜在严重性，which,虽然经常被认为是未成年人，会导致严重的医疗并发症。有趣的是,尽管患者遭受了许多刺痛并接受了大量的毒液，没有立即发生过敏反应。相反，在事件发生后48小时内出现了导致多器官衰竭的延迟严重反应.
