[An accident involving Tityus serrulatus and its epidemiological implications in Brazil].

Abstract

Relata-se o primeiro caso de acidente por escorpião Tityus serrulatus ocorrido em Março de 2001, em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Um paciente masculino de 21 anos, ao manipular produtos hortifrutigranjeiros provenientes de outros estados do Brasil, foi picado na mão por um escorpião Tityus serrulatus com repercussões locais e sistêmicas, necessitando usar soro anti-escorpiônico. O caso foi considerado relevante em termos epidemiológicos, no sul do Brasil.

This is a case report of the first accident involving a scorpion Tityus serrulatus in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, that occurred in March, 2001. A 21-year-old male patient, while handling vegetables proceeding from other Brazilian states, was bitten by a scorpion Tityus serrulatus, developing local and systemic reactions, requiring an anti-scorpion antidote. The authors highlight the epidemiological importance of this case in the South of Brazil.
