Clinical study of Hemiscorpion lepturus in Iran.

Abstract

Hemiscorpion lepturus (HL) sting accounts for 10-15% of all scorpion stings in south-west Iran. HL toxin is a cytotoxic and fatal venom which may affect any organ system, especially CNS, cardiovascular, skin and blood cells. Surgical excision of the sting site may prevent harmful or fatal consequences. Corticosteroids, adequate hydration, blood transfusion and diuretics may help some severely envenomed patients; some may die from cardio-respiratory arrest or renal failure.
