Ten ampoules of bothropic-lachetic antivenom therapy were administered, and 48 hours later, the patient showed discrete edema, pain, and ecchymosis around the bite and normal blood coagulation. The patient was discharged 5 days after the envenomation. The prompt administration of specific treatment was important for the favorable outcomes observed.
我们报告了巴西伯南布哥州一名男童被巨蝮(矛头蝮属)咬伤中毒的病例。受害者局部表现不明显,但咬伤后2小时出现凝血功能改变。给予了十支双蝮矛头蝮抗蛇毒血清进行治疗,48小时后,患者咬伤部位周围出现轻微水肿、疼痛和瘀斑,凝血功能恢复正常。中毒5天后患者出院。及时给予特异性治疗对取得良好疗效至关重要。
