R. Chen, D. Liang, H. Su, F. Chen, L. Su, X. Ju

Abstract: Bee venom is a biological substance produced by bees, consisting of various components. Once these components penetrate the human body, their numerous constituents complicate the detection and characterization of each individual component. Given the complexity of the legal and clinical implications of bee sting incidents, this report presents two cases of fatal anaphylactic shock following bee stings. Through the analysis of these cases, we aim to provide forensic pathological examination and biochemical indicators that can serve as references for handling similar causes of death.
Keywords: forensic case, bee venom, anaphylactic shock, allergy.
