Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Few reports exist on venomous snake bites during pregnancy. Envenomation during pregnancy can result in fetal and maternal death. A woman at 33 weeks of gestation presented with green tree viper envenomation and vaginal bleeding. Investigation revealed a grossly deranged coagulation profile, severe anemia and a dead fetus. After correction of the coagulation profile, induction of labor was followed by vaginal delivery. Postpartum care was uneventful, and the patient was discharged five days post partum. Green tree viper bite may cause fetal demise before the onset of maternal symptoms. |
