The epidemiological and clinical findings of scorpion stings in Turkey were evaluated between the years 1995 and 2004 based on data recorded in the National Poison Information Center (NPIC). A total of 930 cases were recorded. The cases mostly occurred in the month of July. The gender distribution was 50.22% female and 45.48% male. It was shown that the 20-29 age group presented more scorpion stings. Most of the stings occurred in Central Anatolia and Marmara regions of Turkey. Patients at the hospital showed signs of localized (pain, hyperemia, edema and numbness) and systemic effects (hyperthermia, nausea and vomiting, tachycardia, shivering and lethargy) but no lethality was notified. According to records, 33% of the poisoned patients were treated with antivenin in healthcare facilities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652010000400010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,8]],"date-time":"2010-09-08T13:51:27Z","timestamp":1283953887000},"page":"215-220","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Scorpion stings in Turkey: epidemiological and clinical aspects between the years 1995 and 2004"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m","family":"Cesaretli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Refik Saydam Public Health Agency, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ozcan","family":"Ozkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Refik Saydam Public Health Agency, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1590\/S1678-91992009000200008","article-title":"Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of scorpion stings in children in Fez, Morocco","volume":"15","author":"Abourazzak S","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Venom Anim Toxins Incl Trop Dis"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"906","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(98)12083-4","article-title":"Serotherapy in scorpion envenomation: a randomised controlled trial","volume":"354","author":"Abroug F","year":"1999","journal-title":"Lancet","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0099-5355","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"875","DOI":"10.1016\/j.toxicon.2006.12.012","article-title":"Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of scorpionism in children in Sanliurfa, Turkey","volume":"49","author":"Ad\u0131guzel S","year":"2007","journal-title":"Toxicon","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0041-0101","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"39","article-title":"Acute urticaria due to scorpion antivenom administration: a case report","volume":"5","author":"Akdur O","year":"2007","journal-title":"Akademik Acil T\u0131p Dergisi"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.1590\/S1678-91992003000100003","article-title":"Epidemiological study of scorpion stings in Saudi Arabia between 1993 and 1997","volume":"9","author":"Al-Sadoon MK","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Venom Anim Toxins Incl Trop Dis"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"48","article-title":"Scorpion envenomation in children","volume":"37","author":"Alt\u0131nkaynak S","year":"2002","journal-title":"Turk.
