| description | Bee sting entails allergic reaction that can be severe, sometimes even lethal as seen in our case report. These reactions can occur immediately after being stung. We report a case with arterial occlusion and severe ischemia in the lower limb a few hours after multiple bee stings. A 67-year-old male, a known case of hypertension and diabetes mellitus since 15 years and recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism, presented to the emergency department with multiple bee stings all over the body. Hence, he had developed bilateral lower limb edema with blackening of the left foot, which was gradually progressive in nature. Pedal pulsation were not palpable. After emergency treatment patient was subjected to Computed Tomography Angiography , suggestive of bilateral thrombotic occlusion of distal third of anterior tibial artery, posterior tibial artery and dorsalis pedis artery .patient was treated with systemic thrombolytic therapy and Anticoagulation. |
