This reports a case of scorpionism caused by Tityus serrulatus. A male adult was stung while unloading bananas at the supply center in Belém, Pará, Brazil. The bananas originated in another state (Bahia) and were brought to Belém by truck. The patient presented with pain, edema, and erythema at the sting site, and was classified as low-risk. The specimen was identified as T. serrulatus and symptomatic treatment and clinical observation were advised. The patient was discharged later without further complications. This is the first known envenomation caused by T. serrulatus, a non-native species to Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon.
本报告一起由 Tityus serrulatus 引起的蝎螫中毒病例。一名成年男性在巴西帕拉州贝伦的供应中心卸香蕉时被蛰。这些香蕉原产于另一个州（巴伊亚州），由卡车运至贝伦。患者出现蛰伤部位疼痛、水肿和红斑，被归类为低风险。标本被鉴定为 T. serrulatus，并建议进行对症治疗和临床观察。患者后来没有出现进一步的并发症出院。这是在巴西亚马逊地区已知的首例由 T. serrulatus 引起的中毒，T. serrulatus 是非本地物种。
