During the 6(th) International Conference on Envenomation by Snakebites and Scorpion Stings in Africa held in Abidjan, from 1 to 5 June 2015, the measures for the management of envenomation were discussed and new recommendations were adopted by the participants. The high incidence and severity of this affliction were confirmed by several studies conducted in African countries. The poor availability of antivenom, particularly because of the cost, was also highlighted. Some experiences have been reported, mainly those regarding the financial support of antivenom in Burkina Faso (more than 90 %) and Togo (up to 60 %) or the mandatory reporting of cases in Cameroon. Key recommendations concerned: improvement of epidemiological information based on case collection; training of health workers in the management of envenomation; policy to promote the use of effective and safe antivenom; and antivenom funding by sharing its costs with stakeholders in order to improve antivenom accessibility for low-income patients.
2015年6月1日至5日,在阿比让举行的第六届非洲蛇咬与蝎子蜇伤中毒国际会议期间,与会者讨论了中毒管理措施并通过了新的建议。非洲国家开展的多项研究证实了这种疾病的高发病率和严重性。抗蛇毒血清供应不足,尤其是由于成本问题,这一点也得到了强调。报告了一些经验,主要是布基纳法索(超过90%)和多哥(高达60%)抗蛇毒血清的财政支持情况,以及喀麦隆病例强制报告情况。主要建议包括:基于病例收集改进流行病学信息;培训卫生工作者进行中毒管理;推广使用有效且安全的抗蛇毒血清的政策;以及通过与利益相关者分担成本来为抗蛇毒血清提供资金,以提高低收入患者获得抗蛇毒血清的机会。
