Haemolytic uremic syndrome a hitherto unreported complication of humpnosed viper envenomation.
Indian J Hematol Blood Transfus

Internal Medicine, Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Dehimela, Sri Lanka.
Merrem's humpnosed viper bite is known to cause incoagulable blood, acute renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, Raynaud's phenomenon and gangrene of the distal limb. Venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy (VICC) is the commonest coagulopathy that occurs following snake envenomation which is characterised by prolonged clotting times. In a small proportion of patients with VICC, microangiopathy is also seen.

Objective: To report the outcome of a patient who developed compartment syndrome after Bothrops jararaca snakebite.
Case Report: A 39-year-old male was admitted 5 h after being bitten on the lower right leg. Physical examination revealed tense swelling, ecchymosis, hypoesthesia, and intense local pain that worsened after passive stretching, limited right foot dorsiflexion, and gingival bleeding.
Trial of heparin in viper bites.
J Assoc Physicians India
February 2003
Department of Medicine, Jubilee Mission Hospital, Thrissur, Kerala.
Aims Of The Study: Viper bites produce hematotoxicity and coagulopathy which may be either true disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) or DIC-like syndrome. Role of heparin is studied in the present study of viper bite cases as use of heparin provides a rational therapy for defibrination caused by viper envenomation.
Methodology: One hundred and twenty two patients with viper bite and incoagulable blood were randomised into test group and control group.

From January, 1984 to March, 1999, 73 children under 15 y old (ages 1-14 y, median 9 y) were admitted after being bitten by snakes of the genus Bothrops. Twenty-six percent of the children were classified as mild envenoming, 50.7% as moderate envenoming and 20.

Toxicon
November 2000
Department of Haematology, University of Liverpool, UK.
The Boomslang, Dispholidus typus, is a mid- to rear-fanged arboreal colubrid widely distributed throughout much of the African continent. Envenoming by this species is rare although deaths have been recorded. Typical symptoms associated with envenoming include diffuse intravascular coagulation (DIC) caused by fibrinogen consumption and consequent incoagulable blood together with haemorrhage into tissues such as muscle and brain; together, these procoagulant and haemorrhagic effects of the venom result in a very poor prognosis in patients who receive a large dose of venom and who are not treated with antivenom.
