ABSTRACT
Centruroides is a common genus of bark scorpions in the United States with at least 21 species considered to be medically important, including the closely related Centruroides exilicauda and Centruroides sculpturatus. Stings from C exilicauda and C sculpturatus have been shown to cause fatality in children more often than in adults. More severe complications are caused by the neurotoxin released by Centruroides stings. Most stings can be managed at home, but for those patients who require treatment, antivenin has been shown to decrease time to symptom abatement.
