Abstract

A 4-year-old girl was hospitalized 10 hr after having been envenomated by a 1.4 m Clelia clelia plumbea, a colubrid. Although the patient exhibited pronounced edema and local hemorrhage, she did not manifest systemic symptoms. Because the attending physician viewed the case as a possible Bothrops bite, anti-Bothrops antivenom (FUNED) was administered. All local symptoms disappeared gradually over a period of 3 days.
