| الوصف: | The South American tropical rattlesnake ( Crotalus durissus subspp) is responsible for ∼10% of bites from venomous snakes in Brazil. We studied 24 victims of bites by this species over 3 years, in south‐eastern Brazil, particularly investigating haemostatic alterations. Thirteen patients were defined as moderately envenomed and 11 as severe. There were two deaths, which were not attributed to venom‐induced haemostatic disturbances. However, envenoming by C. durissus is frequently associated with haemostatic disorders, which are probably attributable mainly to the action of the thrombin‐like enzyme, with possible additional effects secondary to the powerful myotoxic activity of the venom. |
