摘要

Hemiscorpius lepturus 是中东热带地区发现的一种致命蝎子。其毒液由复杂的肽和酶混合物组成,包括蛋白酶毒素 Hemiscorpius crolysin、镇痛肽和细胞毒剂,攻击血管的低体重患者,尤其是年轻患者,容易出现全身并发症,如肾毒性、溶血、肝毒性,甚至死亡。在本病例报告中,我们介绍了一名来自伊朗西南部阿瓦士市的 7 岁男孩,他被 Gadeem(H. lepturus)咬伤后出现了溶血性尿毒症综合征。被蜇伤后,患者在随后几天出现溶血性贫血、血小板减少和尿毒症。患者接受了支持治疗、血液透析和血浆置换,住院 30 天后出院。

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome Secondary to Scorpion Envenomation in a 7-Year-Old Boy from Southwestern Iran.

Hemiscorpius lepturus is a deadly scorpion species found in the tropical regions of the Middle East. Its venom consists of a complex mixture of peptides and enzymes, including the protease toxin hemiscorpius crolysin, the analgesic peptide, and the cytotoxic agent which attacks vascular low-body weight patients, and especially young patients, are prone to systemic complications such as nephrotoxicity, hemolysis, hepatotoxicity, and even death. In this case report, we present a 7-year-old boy from city of Ahwaz in southwestern Iran, who was bitten by Gadeem (H. lepturus) and developed hemolytic uremic syndrome. After being stung, the patient developed hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and uremia in the subsequent days. The patient received supportive treatment, hemodialysis, and plasma exchange, and was discharged after 30 days of hospitalization.
