Description

Almost 5,000 snakebites occur each year in the United States due to North American pit vipers, particularly copperheads, cottonmouths, and rattlesnakes. Treatment has progressed and outcomes have improved over the last two decades with the Fab fragment antivenom formulations compared to the prior whole-IgG products. Envenomation from exotic snakes is far less common but poses a difficult problem since species-specific antivenom is generally not readily available. The Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica) is an African viper that possesses a tissue toxin and hemotoxin. Treatment is less clear when specific antivenom is unavailable. This webinar will provide the opportunity for toxicologists to be presented with up-to-date literature and treatment options for the Gaboon viper.
