An Unusual Presentation of Vasculotoxic Snake Bite.
Artículo en Inglés | IMSEAR | ID: sea-177131
ABSTRACT
In India, viper bites are more common than any other poisonous snake bites. In these patients, the cardinal features are local pain, swelling and mild coagulation abnormalities; but gangrenous changes involving bilateral upper and lower limbs are uncommon. We are reporting a case of a 62-year-old man bitten by a Russell viper on the right thumb. He experienced local pain, swelling and later developed disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, pre-renal azotemia, sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and peripheral gangrenous changes involving bilateral upper and lower limbs. He succumbed to his ailment 5 months after the bite. There have been very few cases of gangrenous changes involving distal part of extremities associated with snake bite.
