A Case Report On The Bee Sting Of The Cornea

Abstract



Background: Although bee stings are frequent in our surroundings, conjunctival and corneal stings are quite uncommon. Bee venom may cause various symptoms, from acute blindness to mild conjunctivitis. Here, we describe the example of a little girl with a bee sting on her cornea that caused a serious loss of eyesight. Corneal bee sting injuries may be toxic, immunologic, or penetrating, or they might mix all three. Rather than being caused by a tissue sting, the lesion results from the chemical compounds’ localized effect. Medicines may be used to treat bee stings; however, surgery may also be necessary if the situation worsens or there is no improvement. Our patient underwent several treatment alternatives and is now awaiting a corneal transplant.
