Abstract
This work deals with a clinical and epidemiological study of the scorpion envenomation in Tunisia, from 717 scorpion stings recorded during a year at the Sfax Hospital with a mortality rate of 0.35%, all the patients died being less 15 years old. The serotherapy with a specific antivenin made in the Institut Pasteur of Tunis is the main element of the therapeutics.
