Abstract:
The clinical course after a human envenomation by the Northern Blacktail rattlesnake (Crotalus molossus molossus) is not well described in the literature. The present report discusses a 12-year-old girl who was envenomated by C. molossus molossus and treated with antivenom (Crotalidae polyvalent immune Fab). Her recovery was uncomplicated, and she was discharged after 48 hours of hospitalization. Hematologic and coagulation studies were within normal limits at follow up. The clinical effects of C. molossus molossus envenomation are reviewed, and previous reports of bites by C. molossus molossus are discussed and compared with our patient.
