Nephrotic syndrome developing after bee stings.
We have described a case, with renal biopsy findings and serologic studies, of a patient who had the nephrotic syndrome after sustaining multiple bee stings and who demonstrated a favorable response to steroid therapy. Bee stings have previously been implicated in the development of this syndrome, though the reported cases in the literature are poorly documented.
