Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-ACOSTA, Alexis; GUERRERO, Ricardo; REYES, Matías  and  SZYMANSKA, Bárbara. Picaduras venenosas en el mundo tropical: accidente por mordeduras y picaduras de un enjambre de abejorros en una selva lluviosa venezolana. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1998, vol.50, n.1, pp.5-7. ISSN 0375-0760.

Two cases of poisoning produced by the unusual attack of colonies of insects from the family Bombidae, commonly known as bumblebess, are described. This type of poisoning may become severe toxicity and it is analyzed in the light of the latest findings. It is characterized by hemorrhagical symptoms, such as hematemesis and melaena.

Keywords : INSECT BITES AND STINGS; BEE VENOMS [poisoning]; BEES; HEMATEMESIS [etiology]; MELAENA [etiology]; TROPICAL MEDICINE; VENEZUELA.
