Treatment of cardiovascular manifestations of human scorpion envenoming: is serotherapy essential?

H S Bawaskar1, P H Bawaskar.   

Abstract

Death due to sting by the red scorpion is not uncommon in parts of India. Extensive clinical study has shown that fatality is due to cardiovascular involvement as a result of autonomic storm. Prazosin and nifedipine helped to counter the physiological actions of scorpion venom on the sympathetic nervous system. Scorpion antivenom remains unobtainable for human scorpionism in India.
