title: Severe lower limb ischemia after bee stings.
abstract: Bee stings entail allergic reactions that can be severe, sometimes even lethal. These reactions can occur immediately or several days after being stung. In this study, we report a case of severe ischemia of the left lower limb observed in a man, with no medical history, who was stung several times by bees.
