A Case Of Acute Akinetic Rigid Parkinsonism Due To Honeybee Sting
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2009, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
The clinical manifestations of honeybee sting are myriad. Although most such stings are followed by local allergic reactions only but it can be potentially serious. The rare manifestations comprise of encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, parkinsonism, polyneuritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myocardial infarction, pulmonary oedema, bleeding manifestations, haemolytic anaemia and renal failure. The literature regarding honeybee sting from India is sparse. We report a rare case of honeybee sting induced extra pyramidal manifestations in form of akinetic rigid parkinsonism which developed 48 hours after multiple honeybee stings.
