Envenomation Seizures [PDF]

The Neurohospitalist, 2017
Insect sting-related envenomation rarely produces seizures. We present a patient with confusion and seizures that began 24 hours after a yellow jacket (wasp) sting. Given the rapid onset and resolution of symptoms, as well as accompanying dermatological and orbital features, and the lack of any infectious or structural abnormalities identified, the ...

Multiple Organ-Dysfunction Secondary to Multiple Bee Sting: A Case Report From Tanzania. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT An 8‐year‐old boy sustained over 200 bee stings, developing airway‐threatening facial oedema requiring intubation and ICU admission, with severe anemia (Hb 3.2 g/dL), rhabdomyolysis, intravascular haemolysis and marked hepatic injury (AST 2505 U/L), yet preserved renal function.

Systemic impact of intramuscular snake envenomation and intravenous immunoglobulin-based antivenom treatment on murine plasma proteome and peptidome. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

Severe Pediatric Snakebite With Coagulopathy and Compartment Syndrome: Conservative Management With Plasma Exchange. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Therapeutic plasma exchange was successfully used in a child with severe snakebite envenomation complicated by refractory venom‐induced consumptive coagulopathy and suspected compartment syndrome, leading to full recovery and avoidance of surgical intervention.

Immunological responses to envenomation [PDF]

, 2021
Venoms are complex mixtures of toxic compounds delivered by bite or sting. In humans, the consequences of envenomation range from self-limiting to lethal. Critical host defence against envenomation comprises innate and adaptive immune strategies targeted

Diagnosing Syndrome-Like Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia After Pit Viper Envenomation: Overcoming Laboratory Gaps in a Resource-Limited Setting: A Case Report From Nepal. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation remains a significant yet often overlooked health challenge in Nepal, particularly in its rural and hilly regions. While venom‐induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) is commonly observed with viper bites, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is an extremely rare complication, especially with green pit vipers ...

Point-of-care infrared thermal imaging for differentiating venomous snakebites from non-venomous and dry bites.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundLocal envenomation following snakebites is accompanied by thermal changes, which could be visualized using infrared imaging. We explored whether infrared thermal imaging could be used to differentiate venomous snakebites from non-venomous and ...
