The diagnosis was based upon clinical picture or actual snake identification. Fifty six percent of victims were bitten by the snakes of genus Bothrops, 32.0% by Crotalus, 1.0% by Lachesis and 10.0% undetermined. During the study period, stable number of cases and marked seasonal variation were noted. In comparing cases of snakebite and controls, those from a rural area or who were involved in agricultural labor activity were identified as a high risk group, with an odds ratio (OR) of 14.7 and 6.7, respectively, in favor of being bitten. Upon treatment, snakebite patients were 13.5 times more likely to have had early anaphylactic reactions than their controls, with a higher association in the age group &lt;FONT FACE=\"Symbol\"&gt;\u00b3&lt;\/font&gt; 20 years (OR = 30.3). Increased risks were also detected for pyrexia (OR = 11.7), with a marked association in the group under 19 years old (OR = 16.6). Severe cases of snakebite are an important treatable cause of morbidity in Brazil but therapy may be potentially life threatening. The higher case-fatality ratio encountered, compared to national statistics may be due the representativeness of the more severe cases who sought hospitalization. Preventing snakebite and early referral of those who are bitten is proposed<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46651997000200009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,9]],"date-time":"2005-05-09T18:13:53Z","timestamp":1115662433000},"page":"113-118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Epidemiological and clinical aspects of snAkebite in Belo Horizonte, Southeast Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Waleska Teixeira","family":"CAIAFFA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos M.
