Scorpions are nocturnal arthropods that inject their venom through the victims' skin by stingers. By the envenomation, clinical manifestations in a wide spectrum may occur, including pain at one side and death because of severe cardiopulmonary or neurological abnormalities. Sometimes the victim cannot describe the insect or does not remember even being stung after the event. We present two cases of scorpion envenomation with different and rare clinical situations with a short review of the literature.
蝎子是夜行性节肢动物,通过螫刺将毒液注入受害者皮肤。通过这种毒液注入,可能会出现广泛的临床表现,包括一侧疼痛以及因严重心肺或神经异常导致的死亡。有时受害者无法描述蜇伤他们的昆虫,甚至在事件发生后不记得被蜇过。我们介绍两例蝎子蜇伤的不同且罕见临床情况的病例,并对文献进行简要回顾。
