ABSTRACT
Overt myoglobinuria associated with myotoxicity is a classic feature of sea snake envenomation. Russell's viper bites usually result in coagulopathy, neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity but rarely myotoxicity has been reported, especially in the Sri Lankan variety (Daboia russelii). All those studies have demonstrated mild degree myotoxicity with microscopic level myoglobinuria. We report what is probably the first case of gross myoglobinuria in a child following a Russell's viper bite with biochemical evidence of significant myotoxicity well beyond the levels that have been previously reported.
