ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
In this study, we examined the clinical manifestations, laboratory evidence, and the circumstances of snakebites caused by non-venomous snakes, which were treated at the Regional Hospital of Juruá in Cruzeiro do Sul.METHODS:
Data were collected through patient interviews, identification of the species that were taken to the hospital, and the clinical manifestations.RESULTS:
Eight confirmed and four probable cases of non-venomous snakebites were recorded.CONCLUSIONS:
The symptoms produced by the snakes Helicops angulatus and Philodryas viridissima, combined with their coloration can be confused with venomous snakes (Bothrops atrox and Bothrops bilineatus), thus resulting in incorrect bothropic snakebite diagnosis.
