Abstract:
Scorpion sting is a common important health problem in south-west of Iran. The present descriptive retrospective study was conducted to make new information on scorpionism in the Lordegan County(۲۰۰۲- ۲۰۰۶). Data collected in this study revealed that the highest incidence of scorpion sting cases was taken place in spring (۴۹.۷۲%) in ۲۰۰۶. The scorpions which have brought by the pateints to the Lordegan health centre, were identified as Androctonus crassicauda, Hemiscorpius lepturus, Mesobuthus eupeus, Compsobuthus sp. and Scorpio maurus. The epidemiology data suggest injection antivenin of scorpions to the victims as a good way to reduce the scorpion mortalities and injuries in this area.
