TL;DR: The doses of antivenom recommended in Brazil and used in this study may be unnecessarily high, resulting in an unacceptably high incidence of reactions.

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.

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.
