An Interesting Case of Snake Bite With Necrotizing Fasciitis: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Snake bites are associated with various immediate life threatening complications depending upon the type of venom injected. Most of the immediate complications are well taken care of by timely intervention and use of ASV. However, a very high index of suspicion is needed to identify which patients would go on and develop the less common and delayed complications such as necrotizing fasciitis.
