Clinical and cardiovascular alterations produced by scorpion envenomation in dogs

Abstract: Scorpionism is a common problem that occurs in tropical and subtropical countries and assumes great medical-sanitary importance due to its fatal effect on sensitive individuals, being able to lead children and aged people to death. The envenomation lethal potential is responsible for the serious cardiopulmonary alterations the scorpion toxin produces in its victims. The present research evaluated the effects of Tityus serrulatus venom on dogs, using two distinct doses: a dose that simulates natural envenomatio… Show more

“…An rS wave may indicate a modified repolarization axis caused by an increase in the right ventricle, which is directly linked to the pulmonary circulation. This alteration Sinus arrhythmia was observed together with inversion and increased amplitude of T, P and Q waves in dogs subjected to experimental envenomation using T. serrulatus venom (28). Similarly, sinus tachycardia, ectopic pacemaker, ventricular extrasystoles and alterations in the ST segment were observed in a dog accidentally envenomed by T. bahiensis (29).…”

“…A liberação súbita de neutrófilos desse compartimento ocorre após refeições, na gestação, após exercícios intensos ou prolongados, vômitos, convulsões e no estresse por mediação de catecolaminas (Jain, 1993). A leucocitose com neutrofilia foi relatada em diversos acidentes escorpiônicos com humanos (Bucaretchi et al, 1995;Cupo e Hering, 2002;Cupo et al, 2003) e em apenas um relato de caso em cão (Cordeiro et al, 2006). Os resultados deste experimento indicam neutrofilia causada pela dor, pelo estresse e pelo efeito neurotóxico do veneno de T.serrulatus, pois ambos causam a liberação de catecolaminas.…”

“…Cerca de 50% dos acidentes são diagnosticados nos estados de Minas Gerais e São Paulo, mas tem-se registrado aumento de notificações provenientes da Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte, Alagoas e Ceará (Manual..., 2001;Soares et al, 2002;Cupo et al, 2003). Todavia, não se sabe qual o número de animais domésticos, especialmente o cão, picados por escorpiões.…”
