Abstract (2. Language): 
Altough scorpions have a worldwide distribution, scorpion sting is an acute life-threating medical emergency condition in African Countries, India, Egypt, Middle- East, Israel and tropical countries. Some studies show that 50 per cent of scorpion envenomed children were diagnosed as having myocarditis. Because the scorpion sting is an acute life threatining medical problem in summer and dry seasons in South and South- Eastern regions of our country, we want to report our two cases who administired to our hospital in last year and who experienced myocarditis and pulmonary edema after scorpion sting.

Akrepler tüm dünyada yaşamakla birlikte, insan sağlığı açısından tehlikeli olan türlerin yaşadığı Afrika ülkeleri, Hindistan, Mısır, Ortadoğu ve İsrail gibi bölgelerde akrep sokması önemli bir sağlık problemidir. Yapılan çalışmalarda dünyanın bazı bölgelerinde görülen akrep sokmalarında çocukların % 50’ sinde miyokardit geliştiği saptanmıştır. Bu yazıda özellikle yaz aylarında ülkemizin güney ve güneydoğu bölgelerinde akrep sokmasının sık görülmesi nedeniyle son bir yıl içerisinde hastanemize başvuran akrep sokmasına bağlı iki miyokardit olgusu tartışılmıştır.
