echiocytosis in snake bites

donalds4 Mar 27, 2004 10:15 PM

quick question, how many of you know about the change in RBC morphology when animals are bitten by crotalids ( and how many of you use it?) ? i work in 2 animal hosp and we use echincoyte tests as a probable indicator in crotalid bites. the RBCs basic change into echincytes (spikey balls) and a count of over 80% is usually indicative of a bite. Some texts agree, others disagree, but in san diego, anything helps. Thoughts about this? I am starting some basic research and would love feed back.Thanks, don
