Overview
The authors present a comprehensive view of the current knowledge of Vipera berus in conjunction with the injection of poison (envenomation). Most often it is a seasonal occurrence in the range of spring, summer to autumn months (March – October) and most often it is the Vipera berus. Case reports point to the care and management of patients after snake venom poisoning.
Key words:
Vipera berus, envenomation, snakebite severity score, haemorrhagic swelling, antiserum
