Abstract
⺠Clinical studies of snake-bite carried out in four tropical continents are reviewed. ⺠Results of a recent study in India indicate about 50,000 snake-bite deaths each year. ⺠Clinical manifestations of elapid bites that are at variance with textbook accounts are presented. ⺠Understanding pathophysiological mechanisms can lead to improved care of envenomed patients. ⺠Prevention of snake-bites through community education is a priority.
