ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background:
Snakebite is a neglected global health problem with high morbidity. We describe compartment syndrome (CS) cases related to snakebites by Bothrops spp.Methods:
The medical records of patients admitted with snakebites envenomation were reviewed.Results:
Of 47 patients with Bothrops spp. envenomation (4 male; mean age 42 years), 7 (15%) developed CS. The mean time to antivenom administration was 9.5 hours. The time to fasciotomy was variable. Seven patients developed infection and four had acute kidney injury.Conclusions:
The incidence of CS is higher than that reported previously. This may be due to the clinical severity and long delay before administering antivenom.
