Abstract

Background: To explore the oral absorption of scorpion venom an ELISA were designed in this

Successful management of Arizona bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus) envenomation in a Gray's monitor (Varanus olivaceus)

“…While endoscopy also facilitated scorpion removal, this was not expected to result in clinical improvement, as any remaining venom within the metasoma was likely inactivated by the gastric pH. 24 Administration of commercial antivenom, Alacramyn, was well tolerated in this case and no adverse reactions were observed. This antivenom has reduced the morbidity and mortality in children; however, it is not commonly used in human medicine because of cost and availability.…”

“…Additionally, this invertebrate is not clearly appreciated radiographically. While endoscopy also facilitated scorpion removal, this was not expected to result in clinical improvement, as any remaining venom within the metasoma was likely inactivated by the gastric pH 24 . Administration of commercial antivenom, Alacramyn, was well tolerated in this case and no adverse reactions were observed.…”
