attempted first-aid using cut/extraction of wound.
Matell et al. (1973) treated their patient with
blood transfusions, heparin, and monovalent
antivenom. Bajaj et al. (1980) treated a presumed
D. typus
bite with polyvalent antivenom. Vaughan
and Lobetti (1995) reported a veterinary case per
hemorrhagic diathesis in a dog with subsequent
reversal from monovalent antivenom. Four
communicated cases that have occurred since
2006 are described in the Epidemiology section.
These cases are not included in the tally here.
See Epidemiology and Section 4.3 for further
discussion. Plate 4.20L-O illustrate some of the
ecchymotic effects that may be caused by serious
D. typus
envenomation}
