Epidemiology and characteristics of coral snake bites reported to the National Poison Data System (2006‒2022)

Coral snake bites were rare, but consistently reported. While bites were associated with significant morbidity in adult and pediatric patients, there were no deaths reported. Antivenom use declined over the study period but was not associated with an increase in morbidity. An increased incidence of intubations was seen in association with decreased antivenom use.

Abstract

Coral snake bites were rare, but consistently reported. While bites were associated with significant morbidity in adult and pediatric patients, there were no deaths reported. Antivenom use declined over the study period but was not associated with an increase in morbidity. An increased incidence of intubations was seen in association with decreased antivenom use.
