“…These complications have been published in the case reports. Intraperitoneal bleeding [8], hemothorax [9], spleen rupture [10], central retinal artery occlusion [11], and intracerebral bleeding [12] are rare and unusual complications of snakebite that have been previously reported. Epididymitis following snakebite is an uncommon organ complication that has not been reported in snakebites.…”

Snakebite is considered a major health threat in Iran, mostly caused by pit vipers (Crotalidae species). A bite by a viper snake causes the release of plasma and blood to the tissue around the bite inflammation and tissue damage. The occurrence of epididymitis in the absence of a bite in the scrotal area is an unusual phenomenon. In this case report study, we reported epididymitis in a 16-year-old patient who was bitten by a viper on the right leg. This patient initially experienced local bleeding, reversible coagulopathy (thrombocytopenia and increased prothrombin time and international normalized ratio), leukocytosis, and neutrophilia. Due to the occurrence of a new organic complication, re-administration of five vials of snake antidote polyvalent serum along with corticosteroid, pain reliever, and antihistamine alleviated epididymitis and the patient was discharged consequently with full recovery. In this article, the details of the relevant diagnostic and treatment for this young person are provided.

Snakebite envenomation remains a neglected tropical public health issue claiming thousands of lives every year. It is a common medical emergency and a threat to the impoverished populations of low-income and middle-income countries including India. A combination of ischaemic stroke and deep vein thrombosis is a devastating duo complication of snake bite, with no literature report to date. Here, the authors report an unusual case of a young woman developing ischaemic stroke and deep vein thrombosis following snakebite even after the use of antivenom. MRI brain showed right thalamic infarct with haemorrhagic transformation and, ultrasound Doppler revealed right lower limb deep vein thrombosis. The pathophysiology of deep vein thrombosis and ischaemic stroke is complex. It is believed that the activation of the coagulation cascade, complement system together with endothelial injury and immune activation leads to inflammation, thrombosis and occlusion of smaller and even larger vessels.

“…Viper bite is characterized by predominant local symptoms such as pain, swelling, and necrosis at the bite site. Besides, it also results in systemic manifestations like consumption coagulopathy, acute renal failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome, hypotension, shock, etc 1 . Improper tourniquet tying and delay in accessing medical emergencies are practically found to be the cause for post snake bite ulcers.…”

Pakthi prasoonadi gritha is explained in traditional visha granthas like visha jyothsinika and prayoga samuchaya. The word pakthi means ten, and prasoona means pushpa (flowers). Here dasapushpas are the major ingredient which is considered as divya aushadhi in treating Visha. The dasapushpas are sahadevi, akhukarni, vishukranthi, durva, brngaraja, lakshmana, musali, samanga, badra and vishnukranthi. This gritha preparation mainly fused for mandali visha (viper bite) This formulation has been indicated for Vrana Shodana as well as Ropana. Even the Kalka prepared out of this can be applied at the site of bite to prevent development of ulcers. This gritha preparation can be taken internally also. One of the best substances that is easily assimilated in the body in its natural as well as in its medicated form is gritha. Gritha considered as best among all the other sneha as it is assimilated easily in the body and achieves the properties of drug by which it gets medicated without losing its original properties, and it can be given in all visha avasthas. The combined action of all ingredients helps in reduce visha from the body.
