Article Synopsis
- A 59-year-old man suffered from Western Gaboon viper (Bitis rhinoceros) envenomation, initially treated with North American crotalid antivenom, which proved ineffective.
- He experienced worsening symptoms, including swelling and low platelet counts, prompting a transfer to a facility that provided South African Institute for Medical Research (SAIMR) polyvalent antivenom.
- After receiving the appropriate antivenom, the patient's condition rapidly improved, demonstrating the importance of using species-specific antivenom for viper bites and consulting poison centers for proper treatment guidance.*
