Venomous animals that are able to innoculate or inject venom and poisonous animals that cannot inject venom but are toxic when ingested belong to all zoological groups. They can be encountered worldwide in any ecosystem on land and at sea but they are more common and more dangerous in tropical areas. This first article of a series to appear in the next issues of Medecine Tropicale presents an overview of species involved in envenomations and poisonings. In addition to a brief reviewing geographic risks and circumstances in which bites, stings or ingestion occur, some information is provided about antivenim therapy, the only etiological treatment.
能够接种或注入毒液的有毒动物以及不能注入毒液但摄入后有毒的有毒动物存在于所有动物类别中。它们在世界各地的陆地和海洋生态系统中都能遇到，但在热带地区更为常见且更具危险性。《热带医学》下几期将刊登的该系列文章的第一篇对涉及中毒和毒液注入的物种进行了概述。除了简要回顾叮咬、蜇伤或摄入发生的地理风险和情况外，还提供了有关抗蛇毒血清疗法的一些信息，这是唯一的病因治疗方法。
