Clinical Profile and Outcomes of Pediatric Snakebite Envenomation: A Three-Year Retrospective Study From a Rural Tertiary Care Center in South India.

Background Snakebite envenomation remains a significant public health challenge in tropical countries, particularly affecting the pediatric population. Children are especially vulnerable because of their smaller body mass, outdoor activities, and delayed presentation to healthcare facilities. This study aimed to analyze the clinical profile, demographic patterns, and envenomation characteristics of snakebites in children aged 1-16 years presenting to a tertiary care center.

Epidemiological patterns and trends of paediatric snakebites in Sri Lanka.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyse the epidemiological patterns of paediatric snake bites in Sri Lanka over a 4-year period (2020-2024).

Methods: A multi-centre, retrospective observational study was conducted from June 2020 to June 2024 across nine governmental hospitals in seven provinces of Sri Lanka. Data were collected based on 757 children presenting with snake bites.

Brain death due to intracranial hemorrhage in a child following suspected Bothrops snakebite.

Snakebites from the genus Bothrops are common and are responsible for the highest mortality rate in Brazil. Factors related to the species, treatment, and patient influence the clinical manifestations and prognosis of the condition. Young patients without comorbidities have better prognoses and rarely develop severe systemic complications.

Indian Medicinal Plant-Derived Phytochemicals as Potential Antidotes for Snakebite: A Pharmacoinformatic Study of Atrolysin Inhibitors.

Snakebite envenoming is a significant health threat, particularly in tropical regions, causing substantial morbidity and mortality. Traditional treatments, including antivenom therapy, have limitations and associated risks. This research aims to discover novel phytochemical antidotes for snakebites, specifically targeting the western diamondback rattlesnake () venom metalloproteinase Atrolysin.

Case Report: Acute myocarditis and cerebral infarction following envenomation in Martinique: a case series.

(Bl), a snake endemic to Martinique, is responsible for numerous envenomations annually, leading to severe complications such as thrombosis, necrosis, and hemorrhage. This case series investigates the link between envenomation and acute myocarditis, utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance management strategies. In both cases, cardiac MRI confirmed myocarditis with edema, and subsequent cerebral MRI revealed bilateral infarcts.

Road Guarder (Conophis lineatus concolor: Dipsadidae): Case Documentation of a Clinically Significant Envenoming.

Detailed cases of envenoming by a non-front-fanged snake (NFFS) from North, Central, and South America have had limited representation in the toxicology and toxinology literature. The NFFS, Conophis lineatus, has been reported to deliver bites that resulted in moderately severe envenoming. However, most of these reported cases have been via personal communication, or self-reported and lacking in detailed medical evaluations.

Ability of brazilian Bothrops-Lachesis-Crotalus antivenom in neutralizing some biological activities of Crotalus durissus ruruima rattlesnake venom.

We evaluated the efficacy of freeze-dried Bothrops-Lachesis-Crotalus antivenom and liquid Crotalus antivenoms to neutralize Crotalus durissus ruruima (Cdr) venom (Roraima, Brazil) comparing with C. d. terrificus (Cdt) venom.

A supervised machine learning statistical design of experiment approach to modeling the barriers to effective snakebite treatment in Ghana.

Background: Snakebite envenoming is a serious condition that affects 2.5 million people and causes 81,000-138,000 deaths every year, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The World Health Organization has set a goal to halve the deaths and disabilities related to snakebite envenoming by 2030.

Occupational anaphylaxis: A Position Paper of the German Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (DGAKI).

Background: Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction that is potentially life-threatening. Occupational anaphylaxis is an anaphylaxis that occurs in an occupational context. In this position paper, we propose diagnostic criteria for occupational anaphylaxis and provide an overview of the current state of knowledge in terms of prevalence, triggers, prevention, and management.

Snakebite Envenomation From the Large Palearctic Viper, (Squamata: Serpentes; Viperidae), in Fars Province, Southern Iran.

Snakebites are a significant health issue, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Envenomation from snakebites is a clinical emergency requiring prompt treatment. Recently, a new species of blunt-nosed viper, , was identified in central and southern Iran through morphological and molecular studies.

Real world delays in antivenom administration: patient, snake or hospital factors (ASP-33).

Objective: Early antivenom administration is essential for effective treatment. We investigated the delays in antivenom administration.

Methods: We reviewed snakebites from the Australian Snakebite Project (2006-2021) given antivenom, presenting to hospital within 12 h.

Development of squamous cell carcinoma at the bite sites several years following suspected cobra () envenomings.

Introduction: Snakebite envenoming is a multidimensional issue that causes severe functional and life-challenging consequences among rural communities in tropical countries. Current research and treatments are largely focused on the acute effects of envenomation and short-term health outcomes. The knowledge of snakebite-induced long-term consequences is highly limited.

Diagnostic Challenges and Management Strategies for Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis Induced by Snake Bite Envenomation: A Case Report from Somalia.

Introduction: Snakebite is a serious and potentially fatal public health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, leading to severe complications. The World Health Organization (WHO) identified snakebite as a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) in 2017 and launched a global campaign in 2019 with the goal of halving the number of snakebite-related deaths and disability cases by half by the year 2030.

Case Presentation: A 26-year-old farmer male presented with a snake bite and soon developed neurological complications, including diplopia, seizures, and altered mental status with Glasgow coma scale(GCS) of 11 out of 15.

Clinical Characteristics and Analysis of Risk Factors Associated with Rhabdomyolysis in Snakebite Victims.

Objective: To enhance the understanding of rhabdomyolysis (RM) caused by snakebites and to promptly identify and intervene in the risk factors associated with RM.

Methods: A retrospective analysis involving 209 snakebite victims who visited our hospital for snakebite cases was conducted. Among these, 43 were related to RM, while 166 did not exhibit RM (NRM).

Venomous Peptides: Molecular Origin of the Toxicity of Snake Venom PLA-like Peptides.

Snakebite envenoming claims 81-138 thousand lives annually, with vipers responsible for many of those. Phospholipase A (PLA) enzymes and PLA-like proteins are among the most important viper venom toxins. The latter are particularly intriguing, as three decades after their discovery, their molecular mechanism of toxicity is still poorly understood at best.
