Afibrinogenemia following snake bite (Crotalus durissus terrificus)

Abstract: RESUMORelatam se os casos de dois pacientes que desenvolveram afibrinogenemia sem consumo de plaquetas após terem sido picados por Crotalus durissus terrificus. Ambos também tiveram insuficiência renal aguda de alto débito e no caso nº 2 foi feito o diagnóstico de rabdomiólise através da elevação expressiva dos níveis séricos de CPK e DHL. O caso nº 1 recebeu dose não especificada de antiveneno e foi tratado com ácido épsilon-aminocaproico e transfusão de sangue fresco total tendo apresentado normalização dos … Show more

“…Central nervous system edema and hemorrhage was reported in a few cases of crotalid envenomation 2,4,5,8 , but the most common cause was progressive shock leading to multiorgan failture and death hours to a few days later. Edema is a result of the direct effect of the toxin on the integrity of the circulation and the microcirculation in particular 8 .…”

“…In a study of 309 patients bitten by Bothrops spp., Mosquera et al 3 reported cerebrovascular complications in 8 (2.6%) patients, being 7 hemorrhagic strokes and 1 ischemic stroke. Afibrinogenemia has been linked to rattlesnake bites and might explain the higher incidence of hemorrhagic strokes 4,5 . This paper aims to report a patient who developed stroke secondary to a rattlesnake bite.…”

“…Six hours after the antiophidic serum administration, the clotting time returned to normality, and for Group I this return was more precocious than for Group II (Table 4). Alteration in the clotting time is due to the fraction named "thrombin-like", capable of converting fibrinogen in fibrin, leading the patient to afibrinogenemia, which culminates with the prolonging of the clotting time (1,3,16,30). …”

“…Hematological changes in erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, coagulation factors (3), and fibrinogen (1,24) in rats with a mixture of venoms from different Brazilian snakes, there was a slow and gradual decrease hematocrit values, erythrocyte and lymphocyte counts, and an increase in number of neutrophils and hemoglobin concentration. The number of total leukocytes oscillated, with decreases and increases throughout the experimental period (3).…”
