    Journal: Ann Trop Paediatr; 1994; 14(1):21-4. PubMed ID: 7516129.
    Abstract:
    A total of 780 children with scorpion stings were admitted to a referral hospital in Saudi Arabia over a 7-year period. A similar number was managed in the outpatient department. The mortality was 4.8% initially, but no death occurred in the last 2 years of the study period. The reduction in mortality is attributed to the use of antivenom and improvement in case management.
