Wasp and bees are venomous arthropods belonging to the order Hymenoptera, group Vespoidea. Most wasp sting victims do not seek medical attention due to the minor self-limiting and localizing nature of symptoms. Fatal anaphylaxis is rare. However, it is a common indication for emergency room visit. Acute kidney injury is the most serious complication with a mortality rate of 20%. Herein, we report the case of a 3-year 4-month-old female child, who presented with acute renal failure, after being stung by a swarm of wasps. She was managed successfully in the intensive care unit with renal replacement therapy.
