Abstract:
The clinical picture, treatment and evolution of seven patients presenting snake bites are analyzed. Local symptoms were constant, with a spontaneous favorable evolution in 7 to 10 days. The most relevant systemic manifestations were coagulation anomalies which appeared in two patients. Treatment always included local wound care, antitetanicum antibiotic and anticoagulant prophylaxis with specific antiophidic serum in five patients.
