ABSTRACT
Allergic reactions at the site of stings such as
rashes and localized edema are the most common manifestations of bee venom. In
this context, neurological clinical manifestations were uncommonly reported in
the literature. To be more specific, stroke was rarely depicted, and these
reports are mainly based solely on clinical observations. Herein, we would like
to discuss the pathophysiological pathways of stroke secondary to bee sting. It
is worthy of mentioning that the mechanism may vary among different bee species
and the individual genetic predispositions as well as the clinical management.
