• Prognosis is related to species of scorpion, the venom injected (amount and
components), physiological response of the individual to the venom, and
individual’s response to pharmaco therapy as well as supporting measures.
• Symptoms generally persist for 24 – 48 hours, if the patient survives without
severe toxic effects on cardio respiratory or neurologic systems or multi organ
failure.
• Greater the systemic symptoms and poorer the response to therapy, worse is
the prognosis.
