There was low fibrinogen [median: 1.3 g/L;1, – 1.8 g/L; Range: < 0.2 – 2.9], low factor VIII levels [median: 23%; 16 – 37%] and low factor V levels [median: 43%; 23 – 74%]. D-Dimer concentrations [median: 3.4 mg/L; 2 – 7.4 mg/L] were slightly elevated. Factors II, VII and X and vWF antigen concentrations were normal. Discussion and Conclusions: Hump-nosed pit viper bites result in a mild coagulopathy which is usually not detected by a WBCT20. It is characterised by mild elevation of INR, low fibrinogen and Factors V and VIII which may be consistent with the venom containing a thrombin-like enzyme.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:21:03 AEDT ]]>
