Abstract
Intravenous crotalidae polyvalent immune Fab (CroFab(®)) is effective in patients with minimal, moderate or severe crotaline envenomation, halting the progression of local venom effects and ameliorating haematological and other systemic abnormalities of envenomation. Despite treatment, patients may experience delayed-onset or recurrent venom effects (e.g. coagulopathy). Intravenous crotalidae polyvalent immune Fab is generally well tolerated, with acute hypersensitivity reactions being the most commonly occurring adverse event.Entities:
