title: Acute renal failure following wasp sting.
abstract: Wasp stings can result in multi system involvement ranging from intravascular hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure cardiac involvement, hepatic dysfunction and occasionally thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. We report here a case of eight year old boy presented with history of wasp sting followed by scanty micturation, generalized swelling and respiratory distress. After admission renal replacement therapy along with oral Prednisolone was started as serum creatinine level was gradually increasing. Kidney biopsy reveled Acute Interstitial Nephritis (AIN). Diagnosis was made of acute renal failure due to AIN following wasp stings.
