Abstract
We reviewed a series of 83 catfish sting cases from inland hospitals ( Belzoni and Indianola) and a coastal hospital (Pascagoula) to identify the type and severity of injury, as well as the type of treatment and its effectiveness. Oral cephalosporin was adequate in treating early infections.
