Summary
This study looked at how well and how safely the antivenom Inoserp Pan-Africa® works for snake bites in everyday hospital settings in Cameroon. Researchers followed 474 patients over 5 years old who came to participating centers after a snake bite. The goal was to check for allergic reactions within 2 hours and see if the antivenom stopped the venom's effects over the next 48 hours.
