TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Deaths following wasp stings JO - Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin A1 - Schneider, Victoria A1 - Kulike, H. A1 - Saternus, K. S. SP - 79 EP - 91 VL - 96 IS - 2 N2 - Two cases of death have been reported following a wasp sting. In both cases an anaphylactic reaction after sensitization can be assumed (positive RAST result). In one case an expert witness report was required because of questions concerning insurance law (accident at work?) in addition to the cause of death. The stinger of the wasp was examined from the zoological aspect and is compared with that of the honeybee and hornet.
