Description

We report a fatal case of “Mamushi” viper bite. A 70-year-old woman was bitten by a “Mamushi” viper while she was picking flowers in the mountains. She went to the nearest hospital and was diagnosed to have an “insect bite”. She came to our hospital 34 hours later. Her right arm was swollen and she demonstrated hypothermia and oliguria. She was treated by antivenin, cephalantine, artificial hemodialysis, plasma exchange, and so on. However, she died on 8th day. We thereafter performed an autopsy. The patient showed signs of enterobrosis. We concluded that the cause of her death was MOF due to DIC by the venom. We also discuss and describe the standard therapy for “Mamushi” viper bites.
