Özet

Background and objectives. Most cases of severe scorpion envenomation occur in children and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Excessive systemic inflammatory response, which leads to multiple organ involvement, is an emerging challenge during severe envenomation. The aim of this study was to investigate if there was any relationship between initial hematological parameters and severe envenomation in pediatric patients presenting with scorpion envenomation.
