Abstract
Avec l’augmentation des voyages dans les zones tropicales, de même que du nombre de détenteurs de serpents venimeux à domicile, la fréquence des morsures de serpents risque d’augmenter. Même si dans 50 % des cas les morsures ne conduisent pas à une envenimation clinique, une prise en charge rapide et ciblée améliore les chances de succès thérapeutique. Ceci suppose un approvisionnement avec l’antivenin polyvalent ou spécifique et la reconnaissance des signes et des symptômes justifiant son administration. Nous traiterons ici essentiellement des envenimations par des serpents locaux ou tropicaux que le praticien suisse pourrait rencontrer au cabinet ou aux urgences en nous basant sur quelques vignettes et en proposant des scénarios en fonction des syndromes.
[With increasing trips to tropical areas, as well as a high number of venomous snake holders in the country, the frequency of snake bites is likely to increase. Even if in 50 % of cases, the bites do not lead to clinical envenoming, rapid and effective management is essential to successful treatment, which includes supply with the polyvalent or specific antivenom and recognition of the signs and symptoms justifying its administration. We will deal here mainly with local and tropical snake envenoming that Swiss practitioners could encounter in their offices or the emergency rooms and propose scenarios according to the syndromes.]
