摘要
Medical records relating to 325 children and adolescents who suffered scorpion stings were identified (14.8% were mild cases, 55.4% were moderate cases and 29.8% were severe cases). The variables associated with greater severity were: lack of pain at the sting location, sleepiness reported at hospital admission and a time interval greater than three hours between the accident and hospital attendance.
