All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Researcher Furthers Understanding of Family Medicine and Primary Care (A rare manifestation of serum sickness after common krait envenomation in a patient treated with polyvalent anti-snake venom...).

A recent research report from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) explores the topic of snakebite envenomation and its impact on public health in Southeast Asia. The study focuses on the adverse effects of anti-snake venom (ASV) treatment, specifically serum sickness, which can occur 5-14 days after treatment. The researchers present a case study of serum sickness in a patient treated with polyvalent ASV after a common krait envenomation, discussing its presentation, treatment, and potential prevention methods. This study provides valuable insights into an underexplored area of snakebite treatment. [Extracted from the article]
