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 ...

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

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2017 Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that kills >100,000 people and maims >400,000 people every year. Impoverished populations living in the rural tropics are particularly vulnerable; snakebite envenoming perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Snake venoms are complex mixtures of proteins that exert a wide range of toxic actions.

Early-Onset Respiratory Muscle Paralysis in Crotalic Envenomation: A Case Study
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2023 Crotalic envenomation is responsible for approximately 8%-13% of ophidism cases in Brazil, yet it is associated with the highest mortality among snakes. We describe the case of a patient bitten by a rattlesnake who developed ventilatory muscle paralysis ...

Influence of envenomation timing on peripheral immune and oxidative responses in experimental scorpion envenomation [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical DiseasesBackground: Scorpion envenomation poses a significant health threat in endemic regions, eliciting complex immune responses in affected individuals. Recent research suggests that the timing of envenomation - whether it occurs during the day or night ...
