Acute kidney injury following rhabdomyolysis and sepsis after non-poisonous desert monitor bite
The desert monitor, Varanus griseus, is a species of desert monitor lizard found in North-Western India. They are believed to be non-poisonous. We report a case of Indian desert monitor bite leading to acute renal failure following rhabdomyolysis and severe sepsis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment resulted in the favourable outcome. This is author's intent to highlight the complication that may o...
متن کاملIdentification of domains of phosphatidylcholine in human erythrocyte plasma membranes. Differential action of acidic and basic phospholipases A2 from Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii.
Highly purified acidic (pI 4.9) and basic (pI 8.7) phospholipases A2 from snake (Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii) venom hydrolyzed approximately 20% and 60%, respectively, of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) of intact human erythrocytes prior to hemolysis. Sequential use of the acidic enzyme followed by the basic phospholipase A2 or vice versa manifested a characteristic PC hydrolysis pattern. For exa...
متن کاملPURIFICATION AND PARTIAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A COAGULANT SERINE PROTEASE FROM THE VENOM OF THE IRANIAN SNAKE Agkistrodon halys
Agkistrodon halys is one of several dangerous snake species in Iran. Among the most important signs and symptoms in patients envenomated by this snake is disseminated intravascular coagulation. A thrombin-like enzyme, called AH143, was isolated from Agkistrodon halys venom by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-50 column, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sepharose and high performance liquid ch...
متن کاملA lethal case of mamushi (Gloydius blomhoffii) bite: severe bowel symptoms as a lethal sign
Case We report a lethal case of a mamushi (Gloydius blomhoffii) bite. An 84-year-old woman was bitten by a mamushi snake on her right elbow. She was initially treated at another hospital, however, because the swelling expanded and her renal function worsened, she was transferred to our hospital. Compartment syndrome, thrombocytopenia, respiratory arrest, and elevated creatinine kinase and lacto...
متن کاملRevised amino acid sequence, crystallization, and preliminary x-ray diffraction analysis of acidic phospholipase A2 from the venom of Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii.
The complete amino acid sequence of acidic Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii phospholipase A2 has been redetermined by a combination of manual and automatic Edman degradations. Acidic A. halys blomhoffi phospholipase is a single polypeptide chain consisting of 122 amino acids and is highly homologous in sequence with corresponding regions of phospholipase A2 from a variety of sources. Prism crystals...
