We report the first pediatric case of a Jaguajir agamemnon scorpion sting in southern Brazil. The patient was admitted within 15 min and experienced pain, local edema, erythema, whole-body pruritus, and tongue paresthesia, which disappeared later. The patient's condition was considered mild, with a positive outcome, and she recovered completely.
