Abstract

Cases of scorpion stings in emergency populations can be fa- tal, especially in children, due to complications affecting the heart, respiratory, and neurological systems. Heart influences can be seen as a result of stimulation of alpha receptors. An al- pha receptor blocker, doxazosin, can be used for treatment of all cases with cardiac influences. We aimed to present a 1-year- old patient presenting with a scorpion sting with pulmonary edema who was successfully treated with doxazosin.

Özet

Akrep sokması vakaları, özellikle çocuklarda kalp, solunum ve nörolojik sistemi etkileyen komplikasyonlar nedeniyle ölümcül olabilen acil hastalar grubundadır. Kalp etkilenimi, alfa reseptörlerinin uyarımı sonucunda görülebilmektedir. Bir alfa reseptör blokoru olan doksazosin kalp etkilenimi olan olguların tedavisinde kullanılabilmektedir. Biz de ak- ciğer ödemi tablosunda olan ve doksazosin ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi olan bir yaşındaki olguyu sunmayı hedefledik.
