Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Scorpion envenomation is common in and around Batman. The aim of this study is to describe the circumstances and clinical effects of stings in south east of Turkey scorpions. MATERIAL-METHODS: One hundred and twenty patients with scorpion sting were collected prospectively from presentations to emergency departments of Batman State Hospital from March 2007 to October 2007. The following information were prospectively recorded: demographics, circumstances of the sting, sting site, local and systemic effects, vital signs, past medical history, and the presence of shock RESULTS: 120 patients (75 females and 45 males), with a mean age of 33,6 ±15,1 (range 16-80) were included in the study. The majority (36,7%) of stings occurred between 0600 and 1200. Of stings, 61,7% occurred indoors. Of cases, 41,6% were stung while they were working. The most common region (27,5%) stung by scorpions was hand-fingers. The most common symptom occurred in cases was immediate localized pain (97,5%), and was severe in 70 cases (58,3%). Other local effects included red mark/redness (65%), tenderness (40%), numbness (51,7%) and edema (25,8%). Sweating was the most common minor systemic effects that occurred in 16,7% of cases. Cardiac dysfunction, myocardial damage and deaths secondary to major systemic envenoming were not determined in any patient. CONCLUSION: Scorpion stings occurred in and around Batman region do not appear to cause severe or life-threatening effects. Most stings occurred indoors and at midday. Hand-fingers were the common body section that was stung. Females were mostly stung by scorpions.

Özet

AMAÇ: Akrep sokması Batman ve çevresinde yaygındır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin güneydoğusunda Batman’daki akrep sokmalarının durumlarını ve klinik etkilerini tanımlamaktır. Materyal ve metot: Mart 2007’den ve Ekim 2007’ye kadar Batman Devlet Hastanesi acil servisine olan başvurulardan akrep sokması olan 120 hasta ileriye dönük olarak derlendi. Aşağıdaki bilgiler ileriye dönük olarak kayıt edildi: Demografik, akrep sokmansın durumu, sokma bölgesi, lokal ve sistemik etkiler, vital bulgular, tıbbi özgeçmiş ve şok varlığı. BULGULAR: Çalışmaya yaş ortalması 33,6 ±15,1 olan 120 hasta (75 kadın ve 45 erkek) dâhil edildi. Akrep sokmaların çoğunluğu (%36,7) 0600 ve 1200 saatleri arasında meydana geldi. Sokmaların %61,7’si evin içinde meydana geldi. Vakaların %41,6’sı elbise giyerken sokuldu. Akrepler tarafından en çok sokulan bölge el parmakları idi. Vakalarda en çok meydana gelen semptom ani localize ağrı (%97,5) idi ve 70 hastada (%58,3) ağrı şiddetli idi. Diğer local etkiler kızarıklık (%65), duyarlılık (%40), uyuşma (%51,7) ve ödem (%25,8) idi. En yaygın minor etkiler hastaların %16,7’sinde meydana gelen terleme idi. Hiçbir hastada, major sistemik zehirlenmeye bağlı kardiyak fonksiyon bozukluğu, miyokard hasarı ve ölüm tespit edilmedi. SONUÇ: Batman ve çevresindeki bölgede oluşan akrep sokmaları ciddi veya hayatı tehdit edici etkilere neden olmamaktadır. Akrep sokmaların çoğu ev içinde ve gündüzde meydana geldi. Vücudun en çok sokulan bölgesi el parmakları idi. Kadınlar erkeklere göre daha çok akrepler tarafından sokuldu.
