Abstract

A three year retrospective study was done to study snakebite envenomation among Kashmiri children. Ten children were admitted with snakebite. Snakebite was vasculotoxic in seven and mixed in two. Levantine viper bites were seen in five who had Grade 3 bites with severe local signs, severe coagulopathy and hypotension. Both environmental risk and seasonal incidence was observed.
