Journal Article
A rare outcome following a bee sting: Total alopecia
2025
Overview
Following bee stings, multiple case reports have described the onset of autoimmune-related conditions, including myasthenia gravis, nephrotic syndrome, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular events, and localized alopecia, typically within a few days, indicating that bee venom may play a role in triggering autoimmunity. We report a rare case of total alopecia occurring within ten days after a bee sting. While the literature includes one prior case of total alopecia following bee sting-induced anaphylaxis, our case is distinct in that the patient developed total alopecia in the absence of any hypersensitivity reactions, suggesting a potential immunomodulatory or exacerbating effect of the bee sting on the immune system.
