Myocarditis and Early Markers of Cardiac Response Associated with Scorpion Stings in Children
ConclusionsWe think that use can be made of NTproBNP in addition to echocardiography and troponin I in the early diagnosis of scorpion sting–related myocarditis and that Tp-e and Tp-e/QTc ratios identified via echocardiography can be used as early markers; however, further studies with larger numbers are needed to confirm this.
