RESUMO

The medical records of 398 patients attended at the Center for In toxication Control (CCI) HC-UNICAHP, victim of scorpion (T. bahinsis.-58,0% and T. Serralus-10,3%) or Phoneutria sp spider sting (31,7), from January 1984 to July 1988, were analysed in order to evaluate the clinical and epidemiological differences among the accidents caused by the these animals. It was found that the majority of the accidents occurred inside the residence, and that the three agents behaved differently when geographical, monthly and diurnal distribution of the accidents was considered. The age of the patients varied from 3 month to 85 years. The accidents occurred preferentially in children up to 10 years of age and in male patients. Host of the accidents involved the extremities , mainly the hands when caused by scorpions and the feet when Phoneutrta sp was the agent. As to the clinical picture, local symptoms were more frequent specially local pain. Using an unified classification of clinical grading from ASSYHPTOHATIC, HILD,HODERATE and SE VERE it was found that the accidents were significantly more serious in children up to 10 years or when T. Serrulatus or Phcneutria sp were the causing agents.
