It is quite interesting that when a venomous snake bites a person and the victim does not suffer from any signs or symptoms of envenomation. A good percentage of venomous snake bites in humans do occur without venom injection. This phenomenon is termed as "Dry" bite in clinical medicine. Though this was not very uncommon in toxicological practice but, our awareness of this problem has increased. In this article an effort has been made to provide an insight into the incidence, pathophysiology and patho-mechanics of this unique medical enigma.
非常有趣的是，当一条毒蛇咬伤一个人时，受害者却没有出现任何中毒的迹象或症状。相当一部分人类被毒蛇咬伤的情况确实没有注入毒液。这种现象在临床医学中被称为“干”咬。尽管在毒理学实践中这并非非常罕见，但是我们对这个问题的认识已经有所提高。在本文中，我们努力对这个独特的医学谜题的发生率、病理生理学和发病机制进行深入探讨。
