  • Title: Myocardial necrosis after envenomation by the scorpion Tityus serrulatus.
    Author: Benvenuti LA, Douetts KV, Cardoso JL.
    Journal: Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg; 2002; 96(3):275-6. PubMed ID: 12174777.
    Abstract:
    A 4 years old boy died a few hours after he had been stung by a scorpion (Tityus serrulatus). At necropsy, there were multiple foci of coagulative myocytolysis in the myocardium and pulmonary oedema. Myocardial necrosis was probably associated with the sympathetic storm induced by scorpion envenomation, and may have contributed to cardiac failure and death.
