Appropriate antivenom doses for six types of envenomations caused by snakes in taiwan
Provedor de dados: Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases
Autores: Chieh-Fan,C; Tzeng-Jih,L; Wen-Chi,H; Hua-Wei,Y.
Six of the 15 species of venomous snakes found in Taiwan are responsible for most of the clinically significant envenomations in the country. These species are: Trimeresurus mucrosquamatus, Trimeresurus stejnegeri, Naja atra, Bungarus multicinctus, Deinagkistrodon acutus and Daboia russelii siamensis, which together can be subdivided into three groups based on their venom effects. Primary treatment consists of rapid administration of appropriate antivenoms. The present study aimed to identify a proper dose of antivenom for each snake group as well as to describe hemorrhagic, neurotoxic, and mixed effects of their venoms. A retrospective chart review identified 72 snakebite cases referred to an emergency department. Data on epidemiology, examination...

Dangerous snakes, deadly snakes and medically important snakes
Provedor de dados: Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases
Autores: Silva,Anjana.
This correspondence argues that the dangerousness of a venomous snake species is not solely determined by the venom characteristics or the lethality of the snake, and recognizes that medical importance comprises a key variable as well. The medical importance of a snake is determined by several factors - including frequency of medical attention after a bite, local or systemic envenomation provoked by the bite, fatal bites, long term consequences, availability of antivenom therapy as well as the size of the population at risk - that may vary from one region to another.

Pre-hospital treatment of snake envenomation in patients presented AT a tertiary care hospital in Northwestern India
Provedor de dados: Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases
Autores: Chauhan,S.; Faruqi,S.; Bhalla,A.; Sharma,N.; Varma,S.; Bali,J.
Snakebite is an important medical emergency. Anti-snake venom along with supportive care is the only specific treatment. However, many people put their faith in non-registered medical practitioners. Where medical aid is available, lack of trained health personnel jeopardizes the situation. This retrospective study, the first of its kind, was aimed at studying the pre-hospital treatment as well as the behavior of patients bitten by snakes and referred to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, India. A total of 88 cases that occurred between January 1997 and December 2001 were studied. Seventy patients received treatment prior to admission (the majority was treated by non-registered medical practitioners, registered medical...

Envenomation by the red-tailed coral snake (Micrurus mipartitus) in Colombia
Provedor de dados: Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases
Autores: Cañas,Carlos A.; Castro-Herrera,Fernando; Castaño-Valencia,Santiago.
Abstract  Background  Although the red-tailed coral snake (Micrurus mipartitus) is widely distributed in Colombia and its venom is highly neurotoxic and life threatening, envenomation by this species is rare. Therefore, this report may shed some light on the clinical presentation of M. mipartitus bites.  Case presentations  Herein, we describe two cases of patients bitten by red-tailed coral snakes, illustrating the clinical presentation of the victims, the outcomes and treatment provided.  Conclusion  Envenomation caused by M. mipartitus provokes predicable neurotoxicity, and its treatment should be based on respiratory support and use of specific antivenom.

Autores: Silva-Neto,A.V.; Santos,W.G.; Botelho,A.F.M.; Diamantino,G.M.L.; Soto-Blanco,B.; Melo,M.M.
ABSTRACT Twelve adult rabbits were distributed in three groups and received on the femoral biceps region, via intradermal injection (ID), 25µg of Bothrops alternatus venom dissolved in NaCl 0.9% and diluted in 0.25mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Thirty minutes later, the group G1 received 0.25mL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) ID while to G2 and G3 25mg of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) dissolved in 0.25mL of PBS were administered via intramuscular (IM) and intravenous (IV) injection, respectively. Evaluations included local lesion and blood profile of all animals, before (time zero) and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 18 and 24h after venom administration. All animal treated with PBS (G1) and EDTA IV (G3) presented increase of nociceptive...
