Abstract

Few data exist to understand the recovery phase of pit viper envenomation and whether specific patients recover more quickly, or respond differently to antivenom therapy, than others. This study examines time course of recovery from copperhead snake (Agkistrodon contortrix) envenomation patients managed with and without the use of antivenom, stratified by age, sex, anatomic site of envenomation, initial severity of envenomation, and geographic region.
