Abstract: (54 Views)
Introduction: A scorpion sting is one of the major medical problems in southern Iran. Hemiscorpius scorpions are the most dangerous species in this area and Hemiscorpius acanthocercus belonging to this genus is distributed in the southern part of Iran. The venom of this scorpion causes pathological changes in the blood and kidney of the victims, which eventually lead to hemolysis and renal failure. Case Presentation: This report describes the occurrence of severe hematuria in a patient within a few hours after the scorpion sting. Conclusions: The present report suggests that more studies are needed to set out a protocol for the management of scorpion stings in high risk areas.
