Abstract
This study is the first one to provide a chart of the evolution of the hemostatic tests during envenomation caused by Echis bites. The plots enable to estimate that, in Echis envenomation, in the absence of antivenom administration, hemostasis remains severely affected until the 8-10th day of evolution. On the contrary, efficient antivenom against African vipers corrects clotting functions within a few hours.
