Provedor de dados: 80
Autores: Quan,Dan; Zurcher,Kenneth.
Abstract  Background Cardiotoxicity is a documented complication of Crotalinae envenomation. Reported cardiac complications following snake envenomation have included acute myocardial infarction, electrocardiogram abnormalities and arrhythmias. Few reports exist describing arrhythmia induced by viper envenomation and to our knowledge none describe arrhythmia induced by Crotalinae envenomation. This report concerns the first known case of atrial fibrillation precipitated by rattlesnake bite.  Case presentation A 73-year-old Caucasian man with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and a baseline first-degree atrioventricular block presented to the emergency department following a rattlesnake bite to his left lower...

Bothrops jararacussu is one of the most venomous snakes of medical importance in South America, mainly due to the toxicity of their venom and the large amount of that which can be injected in a single bite. The venom of this snake is required for the production, process and control of the therapeutic antivenoms used to treat Bothrops envenomation, so it is one of the Bothrops species common in Serpentariums located in Argentina and Brazil dedicated to the production of antivenoms. We reported two cases of ophiophagy due captive adult B. jararacussu females on Bothrops and Philodryas snakes and the aggression of specimens of this species is also described. Despite well known resistance to homologous venom of Bothrops species, the bite of this specie on...
