A Case Report: İsolated Troponin I Elevation After Scorpion Sting
Journal Title: Çocuk Acil ve Çocuk Yoğun Bakım Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Scorpion stings are frequent events in warm climate regions, especially in the summer. Although most cases are harmless, many local or systemic symptoms of envenomation have been reported. Local symptoms usually include pain, paresthesia and warmth at the sting site whereas pulmonary edema, myocarditis, circulatory disorders and neurological complications compose the systemic symptoms. The most serious effects of the toxin are on the heart muscle. Serious toxic effects are more common in children and elderly, therefore, these patients must be kept under observation and carefully monitored in intensive care units. In this report, we present the follow-up and the treatment of the case of scorpion sting in a three-year-old patient with isolated troponin I elevation.
