Bothrops envenomations can often lead to complications, such as secondary infections.
This cross-sectional study analyzed the medical records of all patients diagnosed with snakebite.
A total of 127 patients were included. Clindamycin was the most commonly prescribed antibiotic, with 105 patients (82.7%) receiving it as the primary antibiotic regimen. In 31 (24.4%) individuals, the first-choice antibiotic did not cease the infection.
Secondary infection is an important complication resulting from snakebites, and evidence-based management of this complication can contribute to better clinical outcomes.
