BACKGROUND
Although the red-tailed coral snake () is widely distributed in Colombia and its venom is highly neurotoxic and life threatening, envenomation by this species is rare. Therefore, this report may shed some light on the clinical presentation of bites.
CASE PRESENTATIONS
Herein, we describe two cases of patients bitten by red-tailed coral snakes, illustrating the clinical presentation of the victims, the outcomes and treatment provided.
CONCLUSION
Envenomation caused by provokes predicable neurotoxicity, and its treatment should be based on respiratory support and use of specific antivenom.
背景
尽管红尾珊瑚蛇广泛分布于哥伦比亚，其毒液具有高度神经毒性且危及生命，但该物种造成的蛇咬伤却很罕见。因此，本报告可能有助于了解红尾珊瑚蛇咬伤的临床表现。
病例报告
在此，我们描述了两例被红尾珊瑚蛇咬伤的患者病例，阐述了受害者的临床表现、治疗结果及所提供的治疗方法。
结论
红尾珊瑚蛇咬伤会引发可预测的神经毒性，其治疗应基于呼吸支持和使用特异性抗蛇毒血清。
