  • Title: Reality bites: a case of severe rattlesnake envenomation.
    Author: Lefkowitz RY, Taylor J, Balfe D.
    Journal: J Intensive Care Med; 2013; 28(5):314-9. PubMed ID: 22588374.
    Abstract:
    Rattlesnake venoms can cause a wide range of adverse human health effects. However, with the availability of modern antivenin, toxicity can generally be minimized and controlled. We present a rare case of rattlesnake envenomation resulting in severe systemic effects and syndrome relapse. Management considerations and patient course are described in the context of the current literature.
