“…The majority of cases reported were scorpion stings (164 cases, 70%), which is the most frequent at the national level 1,2 and also in studies conducted in other regions of the country 5,6,[11][12][13] . However, the mean incidence of cases of spider bites (12 cases) and scorpion stings (29.28) recorded per 100,000 inhabitants in this study for Cruzeiro do Sul is much higher than that reported for Brazil (2.9 and 16.7, respectively) and in the state of Acre (3.85 and 4.58) by Chippaux 2 .…”

Introduction: Epidemiological information on poisonings by venomous animals is fundamental in order to elaborate proposals for educational campaigns for prevention of poisonings, and may contribute to the improvement of the care of patients admitted to health facilities. Objective: Thus, the objective is to analyze the epidemiological profile of spider and scorpion poisoning in the Upper Juruá region, Western Amazonia, Brazil, from 2012 to 2017. Methods: Epidemiological data were obtained from the records of SINAN (Information System of Notifiable Diseases) in the Epidemiological Surveillance Sector of the Juruá Regional Hospital located in Cruzeiro do Sul. Results: There were 207 cases of accidents with arachnids, predominantly stinging by scorpions (148 cases, 71.9%), in the Regional Epidemiological Surveillance Sector of the Juruá Regional Hospital located in Cruzeiro do Sul. The average morbidity coefficient during the study period was 12 cases per 100,000 inhabitants for spider bites and 29.28 for scorpion stings. There was no correlation between spider and scorpion incidents with rainfall over the months during the study period. Conclusion: The average incidence of spider and scorpion incidents in the Upper Juruá region is one of the highest recorded for the Brazilian Amazon and is higher than the averages for Brazil, the Northern region and the state of Acre. Incidents with spiders and scorpions were not correlated with rainfall, and other factors associated with species biology or with human activities related to the temporal distribution, therefore there could be a risk of an arachnid incident throughout the year.

“…1,[14][15][16][17][18] However, underreporting and little epidemiological importance given to accidents involving venomous animals means that loxoscelism continues to be part of the group of neglected diseases. 18,19,21,24 Due to lack of information, people affected by Loxosceles do not attach importance to the initial bite injury and delay seeking health services, thus hindering timely diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic actions. 6,11,20,24 The objective of this study was to describe Loxo s ce l e s a cc i d e n t s n o t i f i e d by t h e Pernambuco Poison Information and Care Center (Centro de Informação e Assistência Toxicológica de Pernambuco -CIATox-PE), between 2018 and 2022.…”

Objective To describe accidents involving brown spider (genus Loxosceles) bites notified by the Pernambuco Poison Information and Care Center (CIATox-PE), Brazil, from January 2018 to December 2022. Methods This was a case series study of brown spider bites notified by the CIATox-PE. Results The study included 22 cases with median age of 35 years, the majority being female (13); the cases occurred in rural and urban areas (12 versus 10), at night (10); Petrolina was the municipality with the highest number of notifications (6); spider bites occurred mainly in the lower (11) and upper (9) limbs, almost exclusively inside households (21); specific serum therapy was not indicated for 8 cases because the time for its effectiveness had already elapsed. Conclusion Loxoscelism cases occurred more frequently in females, in both rural and urban areas and mainly at home, with delays in seeking medical care.

“…Os escorpiões são animais terrestres com distribuição mundial, quase generalizada, podendo ser encontrados em desertos, savanas, cerrados, florestas tropicais, entre outros biomas, vivem frequentemente embaixo de folhas, pedras, madeiras, em fendas de rochas, entre tijolos ou quaisquer outros entulhos ou entre vegetações rasteiras e arbustos, habitam o planeta há milhões de anos, são encontrados em todos os continentes, com exceção da Antártida, sendo mais numerosos em ambientes áridos ou semiáridos. Em todo o mundo já foram registradas cerca de 2.239 espécies, com abrangência de 20 famílias e 165 gêneros (LOURENÇO;EICKSTEDT, 2009;AZEVEDO et al, 2017).…”

Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar as características clínico-epidemiológicas dos casos de acidentes com escorpiões no estado de Sergipe. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e retrospectivo utilizando uma abordagem quantitativa baseada em dados secundários de registros relacionados à envenenação de escorpião do Sistema de Informação sobre Doenças Notificáveis (SINAN - Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação) de 2004 a 2014. Foram notificados, no período proposto, 5.133 casos de acidentes por escorpião. Destes, ocorreram quatro óbitos no período estudado, sendo 75% deles em crianças e adolescentes; a faixa etária mais acometida em Sergipe foi entre 20 e 29 anos 10.3% e constatou-se que o sexo feminino foi o mais acometido com 57.1%. Quanto aos dados clínico-epidemiológicos tiveram como localização anatômico do corpo mais atingida, membros inferiores 37.10%. Já na classificação de gravidade dos casos, encontrou-se a maioria foram diagnosticados clinicamente como leves 84,4%. Em relação a busca pelo atendimento médico após os acidentes escorpiônicos, 56 % das vítimas buscaram o atendimento em até 3 horas, com diferenças significativas na distribuição entre os territórios (p
