Abstract
We report a case of acute hemorrhagic edema in a 10-year-old girl caused by adder bite. Therapy consisted of analgesics, antihistamines, corticosteroids. Antivenum serum was applied in a single dose due to severe spreading of the edema. The patient recovered almost completely after 10 days of treatment.
