Abstract

Scorpion stings are rarely encountered in the pediatric emergency department. Post-sting clinical manifestations range from mild localized skin erythema to life-threatening systemic reaction. We present a case ofscorpion sting in a 17 years old, 35 weeks +1 day pregnant female evaluated in our emergency department. The patient presented to our emergency department with localized skin irritation at the site of the sting. No symptoms of systemic involvement were noted in the ED and the patient was admitted to the hospital for further evaluation. No anti-venom was administered during hospitalization and the patient was discharged home in good condition and no adverse eects were noted on the unborn fetus. Conclusion: In pregnant patients with scorpion sting and localized skin irritation following scorpion sting anti-venom may be safely withheld. Decisions regarding the use of anti-venom in pregnant women should be carefully considered given the limited information on the safety pro

Özet

Akrep sokması sonrasında hafif yerel bulgulardan yaşamı tehdit edebilecek ağır sistemik bulgulara kadar değişebilenklinik seyir gözlenebilir. Bu olgu sunumumuzda, literatürde kısıtlı bilgiye sahip olduğumuz ve çocuk acillerde nadirkarşılaştığımız akrep sokması sonrası çocuk acile başvuran bir gebede ve fetüste akrep toksininin etkilerini tartışmayıamaçladık. Olgumuz 17 yaşında 35 gestasyonel hafta+1 günlük gebe akrep sokması sonrasında acile başvurdu. Yerelbulgu dışında belirti ve bulgusu olmayan hasta, herhangi bir tedavi verilmeden yakın izlendi. Hastada ve fetusta yirmidört saatte herhangi bir bulgu gelişmemesi üzerine önerilerle taburcu edildi.Sonuç olarak, akrep sokması farklı klinik bulgularla acile başvurabilir. Tedaviyi düzenlerken akrep antiserumunun yanetkileri de düşünülerek hareket edilmeli, hastanın kliniğine göre karar verilmelidir. Gebelikte akrep sokmasıyla ilgili sınırlı bilgiye sahip olduğumuz için gebe hasta grubunda hem anne, hem fetus göz önüne alınarak tedavi seçenekleri değerlendirilmelidir CAYD 2015;2(1):41-44.
