Background: Snake bite continues to be an important public health problem in tropical countries, and Russell's viper is common in south-Asian countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar.

Conclusions: In this study, we report our center's 6-year experience of such pediatric patients and identify the poor prognostic factors.
