This paper presents the first reports on scorpion accidents caused by Tityus pusillus (Buthidae). The accidents took place within the home environment, in rural areas located in the municipalities of Paudalho and São Lourenço da Mata, Pernambuco, Brazil. The two cases described (a child and a pregnant woman) were classified as mild and moderate, respectively. The clinical symptoms presented were local disorders (pain and paresthesia) and systemic disorders (chills, dizziness, headache and vomiting). These records make it possible to including Tityus pusillus as a species of medical importance in Brazil.
本文首次报道了由微小蒂氏蝎（钳蝎科）引起的蝎子蜇伤事故。这些事故发生在巴西伯南布哥州保达洛和圣洛伦索达马塔市农村地区的家庭环境中。所描述的两起病例（一名儿童和一名孕妇）分别被归类为轻度和中度。出现的临床症状为局部症状（疼痛和感觉异常）和全身症状（寒战、头晕、头痛和呕吐）。这些记录使得将微小蒂氏蝎列为巴西具有医学重要性的物种成为可能。
