[A case of unusual occupational allergy to bee venom].
The authors discuss an exceptional case of allergy to bee venom in a zoo-technician working on a morphological analysis of bees. During her work, the zoo-technician was repeatedly stung, initially with only small local reaction. After six-year period of work, the symptoms that followed stinging had all the characteristics of general oedema. Next years of exposure to bee venom resulted in collapse in the patient. Allergological examinations indicated work-related hypersensitivity to bee venom. The case history was supplemented with prophylactic recommendations. General principles of controlling the shock were provided.
