Abstract
Forty-three cases of viper bite were studied for coagulation disorder of which 34 (79.1%) cases had bleeding manifestations from one or more sites, haematuria being the commonest (46.5%). Disseminated intravascular coagulation was the predominant coagulation abnormality. Administration of snake venom antiserum resulted in prompt recovery from coagulation disorder. However, natural recovery from coagulation abnormality did occur though took longer time.
