RESUMO
This study delves into the rare occurrence of rhabdomyolysis induced by wasp stings, emphasizing its toxic systemic repercussions. Drawing parallels with documented instances of insect bites worldwide, including those by honey bees and Africanized bees, the research explores the correlation between multiple wasp stings and acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis. The venom's active components, such as amines, kinins, and histamine-releasing peptides, underpin toxic systemic reactions, leading to hemolysis, coagulopathy, and severe cytotoxicity-induced acute renal failure. Noteworthy is the emergence of blackish necroses at the sting site, suggesting intense cytotoxicity. The study also highlights skin necrosis as a prognostic indicator for toxic systemic reactions. The presented case manifests an anaphylaxis-like reaction, revealing insights into toxic responses devoid of IgE-mediated allergic reactions. Timely intervention, encompassing hydration, transfusion, and dialytic support, proves imperative in scenarios involving multiple wasp stings, offering successful outcomes documented through plasma exchange in severe cases. This research prompts considerations beyond anaphylaxis, urging exploration of severe toxic systemic reactions in the context of multiple wasp stings.
