[Mortal poisoning by bee stings in a child: Study of a case observed in the regional hospital of Maradi (Niger)]. / Envenimation mortelle par piqûres d'abeilles chez l'enfant : à propos d'un cas observé au centre hospitalier régional de Maradi (Niger).

We report a fatal case due to a massive attack by a swarm of bees in a nine-year-old child. The accident was fatal because of two aggravating factors: the cephalic location and the large number of stings (about 300). Complications were coagulopathy, anemia, hemorrhage, coma, and oligoanuria. Support was symptomatic at a facility second level. The outcome was fatal within 14 days. In view of the encountered difficulties, we recommend to build written protocols for the management of envenomation in any health training reference.
