Abstract

The stinging catfish Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch, 1794) has become a popular aquarium fish in Poland and is available in almost every pet shop. The toxicological centers in Cracow, Gdansk and Warsaw have recorded twelve cases of envenomations caused by stinging catfish in the years 1994-2008. In most cases the injury was accompanied by oedema, erythema, intense pain, numbness of the site and dizziness. Schema of medical management was prepared using analysis of cases.
