TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Rhabdomyolysis due to Multiple Wasp Stings JO - Case reports in dermatological medicine A1 - Ito, K. A1 - Imafuku, S. A1 - Nakayama, J. SP - 486724 EP - 486724 VL - 2012 IS - N2 - Wasp sting is a relatively common arthropod assault, but is sometimes fatal because of anaphylaxis. Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition, with destruction of striated muscles, and can be induced by various causes such as drugs, heart attacks, CRASH syndrome, and viper bites. Mass envenomation by multiple wasp stings can also cause rhabdomyolysis followed by acute renal failure, although it is extremely rare. We herein report a case who had an anaphylaxis-like reaction and rhabdomyolysis due to multiple wasp stings.
