Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed snakebite cases at the Institut de Recherche en Biologie Appliquée de Guinée (IRBAG) by reviewing data from 2011-2015 and 2021, noting 1345 snakebite victims out of 2352 visits.
- Most affected individuals were males, aged 45 and older or 14 and younger, primarily farmers or housewives, and lived in rural areas, particularly during the rainy season.
- The majority of victims experienced severe symptoms like pain and bleeding, with almost all receiving treatment, including antivenom; however, timely medical attention was lacking, leading to a significant public health concern in rural Guinea.
