From Sting to Strain: A Case Report of Wasp Sting-Induced Multiorgan Dysfunction Syndrome.

Wasp stings are benign, generally associated with localized pain and allergic reactions, but in rare cases, they may trigger life-threatening systemic toxicity, culminating in multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS). We present the case of a 23-year old female who developed MODS following multiple wasp stings, manifesting with rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury (AKI), hepatic dysfunction, and necrotic skin lesions. Laboratory evaluation showcased markedly elevated creatine kinase (CK), liver enzymes, and renal parameters. She was managed with Adrenaline, corticosteroids, aggressive intravenous fluids, and supportive hepatorenal measures, leading to complete recovery within a month. This case serves as a reminder that rapid intervention and fast-paced multidisciplinary management can mean the difference between complete recovery and a fatal outcome.
