Snake bites by the jararacuçu (Bothrops jararacussu): clinicopathological studies of 29 proven cases in São Paulo State, Brazil

TL;DR: Examination of proven jararacuçu bites recruited over a 20-year period in two São Paulo hospitals found effects of polyspecific Bothrops antivenom were not impressive, and it has been suggested that anti-Bothrops and anti-Crotalus antivenoms should be given in combination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical trial of two antivenoms for the treatment of Bothrops and Lachesis bites in the north eastern Amazon region of Brazil.

TL;DR: Investigation of whether a specific antivenom raised against the venom of B. atrox, the most important Amazon snake species from a medical point of view, was necessary for the treatment of patients in this region indicated that both antivenoms were equally effective in reversing all signs of envenoming detected both clinically and in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reliability of the simple 20 minute whole blood clotting test (WBCT20) as an indicator of low plasma fibrinogen concentration in patients envenomed by Bothrops snakes. Butantan Institute Antivenom Study Group.

TL;DR: There was a close relationship between the results of the WBCT20 and plasma fibrinogen levels in 69 moderately envenomed patients and it is of use in assessing the effectiveness of antivenom therapy in relation to the restoration of blood coagulability.
