Vipera Palaestinae Bite and Serum Sickness during Pregnancy
The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 04/02/09
Lurie Y et al. - This is the first reported case of V. palaestinae bite complicated by antivenom-induced serum sickness during pregnancy. No adverse pregnancy outcome due to the antivenom treatment or serum sickness was observed. Careful hemodynamic, hematologic, and obstetric monitoring of pregnant snakebite victims is warranted. Antivenom administration should be considered according to published indications to prevent maternal complications and fetal compromise. Patients treated with antivenom should be followed for possible development of serum sickness.
