Hemoperfusion as Adjunctive Therapy in Severe Snake Envenomation Refractory to Antivenom: A Case Series

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Snake envenomation remains a significant cause of morbidity worldwide, with antivenom serving as the cornerstone of treatment. This case series describes outcomes of three male patients (ages 34–63 years) with severe envenomation who demonstrated progressive local swelling and coagulopathy despite receiving at least 15 vials of antivenom.

Systemic impact of intramuscular snake envenomation and intravenous immunoglobulin‐based antivenom treatment on murine plasma proteome and peptidome

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
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.

Skin Grafting for Cobra Bite–Induced Hand Defects: Refining Indications in a Dynamic Wound Environment

International Wound Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Cobra envenomation frequently results in progressive soft‐tissue necrosis of the hand, posing significant challenges for reconstruction. While flap‐based reconstruction is often recommended for severe defects, the role of skin grafting in appropriately selected cases remains poorly defined.
