Sažetak
The study was a prospective multicentre survey of Viperidae snakebites and use of antivenoms in poison control centres and toxicology departments in Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia and Bulgaria. The incidence of Viperidae snakebites in central and south-eastern Europe is at least 2.9/million populations ; but is likely more, since not all snakebites would have been treated in toxicology departments or reported to local poison control centers. V. berus bites were most common, and although V. ammodytes bites had a higher median severity score it was not significant (2 compared to 1 for V. berus bites ; p = 0.18). Antivenom was used in half of the reported V. ammodytes bites (compared to 13% of V. berus bites). Three different antiViperidae antivenoms were used, none of which is European Medicines Agency (EMA)- approved. Only ViperaTab was used in both V. berus and V. ammodytes bites.
