Acidente por Rhopalurus agamemnon (Koch, 1839) (Scorpiones, Buthidae)

Abstract: RESUMOAcidentes escorpiônicos constituem um sério problema de saúde pública no Brasil. Rhopalurus agamemnon é um grande escorpião do bioma Cerrado, muito abundante em diversas localidades do Brasil Central. A espécie utiliza ambientes campestres e savânicos, sendo comum no interior de cupinzeiros. Entretanto, desaparece de locais onde o cerrado é removido.

“…Nevertheless, accidents provoked by other species are rare or poorly reported in the literature, such as those caused by the genus Rhopalurus . Concerning this genus, up to date only three cases of human envenomation caused by Rhopalurus agamemnon have been described, all of them occurred in Piauí and Bahia states, in the Northeast region [ 15 , 16 ]. Among them, only the case registered in Bahia had the species confirmed because it was collected.…”

“…Among them, only the case registered in Bahia had the species confirmed because it was collected. The clinical symptoms of envenomation by R. agamemnon were classified as a mild envenomation or Class I with paresthesia, shaking hands, tingling tongue, and curiously the victim did not present local pain [ 16 ]. In contrast, the main symptoms of the envenomation caused by R. amazonicus were radiating pain from sting site, paresthesia and severe itching sensation.…”

“…Com a coleta dos escorpiões foi possível identificar quatro espécies: Tityus confluens, Tityus mattogrossensis, Tityus obscurus e Jaguajir agamemnon. Todas estas, relatadas para o estado do Tocantins e descritas para áreas de cerrado e de transição entre savanas e floresta amazônica (MAURY, 1974;LOURENÇO 2002;LOURENÇO et al, 2004;BRANDÃO & MOTTA, 2010;GOPALAKRISHNAKONE et al, 2015…”

“…Apenas 25 espécies de escorpiões no mundo, todas pertencentes à Buthidae, são reconhecidamente causadoras de acidentes graves (Lourenço & Eickstedt, 2009;Brazil & Porto, 2011). No entanto, embora a caracterização do veneno e do acidente não seja conhecida para todas as espécies de escorpiões, diversos relatos de escorpionismo têm sido reportados para espécies que ocorrem no Brasil (Álvares et al, 2006;Carvalho et al, 2007;Albuquerque et al, 2009;Brandão & Françoso, 2010;Porto et al, 2010a).…”
