Prolonged Coagulopathy, Ecchymoses, and Microangiopathic Hemolytic Anemia Following Hump-Nosed Pit Viper (Hypnale hypnale) Bite in Sri Lanka
2017
A 74-year-old previously healthy woman was bitten by a hump-nosed pit viper ( Hypnale hypnale ) at dusk causing incoagulable blood lasting for 6 days. Further, she developed ecchymoses over her forearms, upper arms, hands, and lower back on day 4 after the snakebite, and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA). Features of this nature are rare after hump-nosed pit viper bite.
