This study investigated the correlation between the incidence of snakebite and indicators of agricultural development in municipal districts of the State of Bahia, Brazil. An ecological study was conducted with the 27,347 cases of snakebite poisoning reported to the Reportable Diseases National Information System in municipalities from the State of Bahia, Brazil, 2000-2009. The unit of analysis was each one of the 417 State municipalities, and the outcome variable was the average annual incidence of snakebite. Data were analyzed by multiple linear regression technique. The average annual incidence of snakebite ranged from zero to 221.96 per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the municipalities. The incidence of snakebite was positively and strongly associated with municipality characteristics: planted areas of cocoa and coffee, and the size of domestic bred chicken and bovine livestocks. It was concluded that several characteristics related to municipal agricultural profile were strongly associated with the incidence of snakebite.

Snakebites were included by the World Health Organization in their list of neglected diseases. In Latin America, most snakebites are caused by species of the Viperidae family, notably by the genus Bothrops. Bothrops atrox accounts for 90% of the cases of envenoming in the Brazilian Amazon. In this report, we present a series of three cases of snakebites that evolved with hemorrhagic stroke due to delays in the access to antivenom in the Brazilian Amazon, being fundamental for diagnosis to validate the clinical suspicion and make decisions that would improve the treatment and prognosis of the patients.

Acidentes envolvendo serpentes peçonhentas são um problema de saúde pública no Brasil em virtude do desequilíbrio ecológico. O artigo relata acidente por B. jararaca apresentando edema e cianose, mas com TC normal. Evoluiu com taquicardia e hipotensão, recebendo 14 ampolas de soro antibotrópico. O paciente foi a óbito por choque cardiogênico decorrente da síndrome toxêmica. Apesar das manifestações locais compatíveis com envenenamento botrópico, a ausência de alteração no TC difere do padrão descrito pela literatura. Em função da baixa sensibilidade e especificidade deste teste, propõem-se que o parâmetro TC não deva ser utilizado de forma isolada para traçar conduta em acidentes botrópicos.
