Abstract :
This report describes a 55-year-old woman in whom yellow scorpion
sting resulted in the development of Mobitz type 1 and transient
complete heart blocks unresponsive to atropine administration. It
might be concluded that although autonomic involvement including
parasympathetic overactivity is present in such cases, other factors
such as toxic damage to the cardiac conduction system may play a
role in the development of some of the cardiovascular manifestations
of scorpion toxin.
