Wasp sting-related allergic encephalitis.

Published in: Practical neurology (2021)

A 48-year-old man presented with a headache and disorientation after multiple wasp stings. Following admission, he developed seizures and was intubated. We provisionally diagnosed wasp sting-related allergic encephalitis and treated this with intravenous methylprednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin. He recovered uneventfully over several days.
