| Summary: |
Published reports on bee
stings of the cornea are rare, especially when it occurs
in the winter season. These injuries have the potential
for causing serious ophthalmologic problems. The venom
in the sting can produce toxic and immunologic reactions.
The result is acute ocular inflammation, which is
usually confined to the anterior segment of the eye. The
aim of our work is to present 84-year-old man who was
stung by a bee on the left cornea, while taking care of
a swarm of bees. The main symptoms were pain, oedema of
eyelids, conjunctival injection, keratitis and iritis.
The sing was present in the cornea. After the removal of
retained stinger and pharmacological treatment we
observed the rapid improvement. |
