Abstract
Scorpion envenomation is a public health problem in several countries in the tropics and subtropics, with high mortality in the severe forms involving multiple organ failure. The correlation between young age and clinical manifestations of severe scorpion envenomation is well established. We report the case of a 3-month-old infant admitted for severe scorpion envenomation who rapidly developed fatal multiple organ failure, and we discuss the different physiopathological aspects of severe scorpion envenomation.
