Resumo

Scorpion stings are a public health problem in Morocco, especially among children, who experience the most severe cases. Epidemiological and clinical findings on scorpion stings in Fez, Morocco, were evaluated in this investigation. Of 163 cases that required medical attention, 62.6 percent were male children. The mean age of patients was 4.8 ± 3.4 years. The mean time between stings and first medical attention was 3.36 ± 2.5 hours. Almost all cases occurred in the summer (94 percent) and extremities represented the most frequent sting sites (86.5 percent). Local pain, hyperemia, scarification, vomiting, sweating, restlessness, tachycardia and tachypnea were the observed clinical symptoms. Regarding severity, 55.2 percent of patients belonged to class III, followed by class II (26.4 percent) and class I (18.4 percent). None of our patients received antivenom; however, all of them were treated symptomatically depending on clinical manifestations.(AU)

Resumo

Four cases of urolithiasis in captive maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) were studied. AlI four animals were adult males. The clinical cases occurred in the period 1989-2004. The disease was manifested after 2 months to 10 years of captivity. The main clinical symptoms found were abdominal distension, recurrent urinary tract infections, pain upon abdominal palpation, difficulty urinating, polacyuria, hemaruria, anorexia, dehydration, and urinary tenesmus evolving to anuria due to obstruction of the urethra by calculi. Radiological examination detected bladder distension and the presence of many radio-opaque uroliths in the bladder lumen. Diffraction analysis of uroliths showed they were made up of calcium acid pyrophosphate and basic hydrous manganese phosphate (n=1) and hydrous magnesium ammonium phosphate with traces of Potassium Calcium Phosphate (n = 1). Electron microscopy showed that uroliths consisted of crystals with mineral phosphorus, potassium and magnesium (n=2) predominating in their composition. This is the first time any scientific research has demonstrated the occurrence of urolithiasis associated with uroliths of mineral composition based on phosphate, potassium and magnesium in captive maned wolves. The only cases of urolithiasis in maned wolves documented hitherto were cystine-related. Therapeutic measures for urolithiasis involve appropriate nutritional management, use of medication and, in some cases, specific surgical procedures. Diagnosis and treatment of the diseases to which wild animals are subject when in captivity are extremely important for maintenance and reproduction of these species with a view to their conservation in the environment.(AU)


Foram estudados quatro casos de urolitíase em lobos guarás (Chrysocyon brachyurus), que ocorreram no período de 1989 a 2004, de animais mantidos em cativeiro. Os casos clínicos ocorreram em quatro machos adultos. O tempo de cativeiro para a manifestação da doença nos animais variou de dois meses a 10 anos. Os principais sintomas clínicos apresentados foram distensão abdominal, infecções recorrentes do trato urinário, dor à palpação abdominal, dificuldade em urinar, polaciúria, hematúria, anorexia, desidratação e tenesmo urinário com evolução para anúria em decorrência da obstrução da uretra por cálculos. Ao exame radiológico detectou-se distenção da bexiga e a presença de inúmero urólitos radiopacos no lúmen do órgão. As análises difratométricas dos urólitos revelaram que eles eram compostos de Pirofostato Ácido de Cálcio e Fosfato Básico de Manganês Hidratado (n=1)) e Fosfato de Amônia Magnésio Hidratado com traços de Fosfato de Potássio e Cálcio (n=1). A microscopia eletrônica revelou que os urólitos eram formados por cristais, com predominância dos minerais de fósforo, potássio e magnésio (n=2) em sua composição. O presente estudo demonstrou, de forma inédita, a ocorrência de urolitíase associada a urólitos de composição mineral a base de fosfato, potássio e magnésio, em lobos guarás cativos. Até então, só foram documentados casos de urolitíase em lobos guarás relacionados à cistina. As medidas terapêuticas da urolitíase envolvem manejo nutricional adequado, utilização de medicamentos e, em alguns casos, cirurgias específicas. O diagnóstico e tratamento das doenças que acometem animais silvestres em cativeiro são de extrema importância para a manutenção e reprodução dessas espécies, visando à sua conservação no meio ambiente.(AU)

The epidemiology and clinical findings of scorpion stings in Sanliurfa region of Turkey, from May to September 2003, were evaluated in this study. Mesobuthus eupeus (M. eupeus) plays a role on 25.8 percent of the scorpionism cases. This study also showed that intoxications caused by M. eupeus in the southeast of Anatolia region were seen in hot months of the summer, especially on July. Females and people above 15 years old were mostly affected and stung on extremities. Intense pain in the affected area was observed in 98.7 percent cases, hyperemia in 88.8 percent, swelling in 54.6 percent, burning in 19.7 percent, while numbness and itching were seen less frequently. In our study, the six most frequently observed symptoms were local pain, hyperemia, swelling, burning, dry mouth, thirst, sweating, and hypotension. In this study involving 152 M. eupeus toxicity cases, patients showed local and systemic clinical effects but no death was seen. Autonomic system and local effects characterized by severe pain, hyperemia and edema were dominantly seen in toxicity cases.(AU)
