| Abstract | Snake-bite is an important medical emergency case and caused of many hospital admission especially in the rural area, forests, plantations and swamps. Despite its importance, there have been fewer proper data of snake-bite incidence in Indonesia. World Health Organization estimate that at least 421,000 envenomings and 20,000 deaths from snakebites occur each year, especially in South and South East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The authors report a case of a 76-year-old man came to Hasan Sadikin Hospital with chief complaint wound in his right hand and right forearm from snake-bite. Snake-bites can cause DIC because the venom activates the coagulation system and cause fibrinolysis which occurs in less than 24 hours. Laboratory results, we found abnormalities such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and increased levels of D-dimer. Patients were treated for 8 days and then allowed to go home. Snake-bite is an occupational disease of farmers, plantation workers, herdsmen, fishermen, other. Snake bite cases require prompt and comprehensive management so as to minimize the possibility of disability and death. |
