Abstract

Scorpion stings can cause multiple clinical manifestations such as local skin reactions or multiple organ failure that can cause death. The most important life threatening event after the sting is cardiac and lung involvement. Because of the mortal complications like pulmonary edema and myocarditis, every child must be kept under surveillance and carefully monitored. In this study, we presented a 4 years old child which has serious complications such as myocarditis and pulmonary edema after scorpion stings and his follow up and treatment.
