Abstract
Characteristics of patients with either bee sting, centipede bite, or viper bite treated at Ashikaga Red Cross Hospital in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan between January 2009 and October 2011 were retrospectively investigated. Consequently 61 cases of bee sting, 42 of centipede bite, and 11 of viper bite were cited. Among these, male cases with bee sting or viper bite were more numerous than female cases, including severe cases, while more female than male cases with centipede bite consulted the emergency room (ER) during the night. A case of bee sting accompanied by anaphylactic shock was immediately treated by an ER doctor in an ambulance at the incident site. However, a shock case of viper bite occurred at the outpatient consultation room of our hospital more than two hours after the bite. The hand was the most commonly injured body part in sting and bite cases, while the head and arms were at greatest risk of bee sting. Bee sting and centipede bite occurred between April and October, and were most frequently encountered from July to September in the Ashikaga area. In this area, more attention is paid to viper bite from May to August than at any other time of the year.
