Comparison of Crotalidae Immune F(ab’)2 (Equine) and Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab (Ovine) at Establishing Control of Initial Envenomation Symptoms in Louisiana Agkistrodon Envenomations
In this cohort of suspected Agkistrodon envenomations, control with initial recommended dosing was more often achieved with FabAV compared to Fab2AV (84% vs. 44%). The results suggest potential benefit to hospitals stocking FabAV in Louisiana and possibly other Agkistrodon-predominant regions.
