MANAGEMENT OF COVID19 POSITIVE CASE WITH LACHESIS
LACHESIS -: KINGDOM: Animalia PHYLUM: Chordata CLASS: Reptilia ORDER: Squamata SUB-ORDER: Serpentes FAMILY: Viperidae GENUS: Lachesis SPECIES:. L. muta SCIENTIFIC NAME: Lachesis muta COMMON NAME: Bushmaster Or Surucucu DRUG NAME: Lachesis
ACTION ON HUMAN BODY The venom is rich in proteolytic enzymes responsible for severe local effects - such as swelling, local inflammation and necrosis mainly due to the action of phospholipases A2 (PLA2) and metalloproteinases [7] Venom cause an imbalance in the hemostatic system andtissues repair, leading to persistent bleeding. The evaluation of blood pressure during Lachesis envenomation is very important, since the snakebite causes an intense decrease in blood pressure, commonly seen in envenomation in Humans.
Chemical Composition Venom of Lachesis Muta consists of approximately 25 proteins and peptides with enzymatic activity. The venom of Lachesis Muta has hemolytic, proteolytic and cytotoxic properties, but its exact composition an the factors responsible for these properties are not known. The venom of Vipera berus has hemolytic, proteolytic and cytotoxic properties. Following are major components of venom: Protease Phospholipase Hyaluronidas Phosphodiesterases Angiotensin Metalloproteinase Serine protease L-amino acid oxidase Snaclec
