title: Acute renal failure following multiple wasp stings.
abstract: We report the cases of two patients who developed acute renal failure following multiple wasp stings. Both patients required dialysis and recovered within 4 weeks. The kidney biopsy from one patient showed acute tubular necrosis with interstitial nephritis. One patient had complete recovery of renal function on follow-up, while the other was lost to follow-up.
