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

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

A randomised controlled trial of two infusion rates to decrease reactions to antivenom.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundSnake envenoming is a major clinical problem in Sri Lanka, with an estimated 40,000 bites annually. Antivenom is only available from India and there is a high rate of systemic hypersensitivity reactions.

In Vitro Immunological Cross-Reactivity of Thai Polyvalent and Monovalent Antivenoms with Asian Viper Venoms

Toxins, 2020
The intravenous administration of polyclonal antibodies known as antivenom is the only effective treatment for snakebite envenomed victims, but because of inter-specific variation in the toxic components of snake venoms, these therapies have variable ...

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...
