Abstract

Snakebite remains one of the major public health problems throughout the world, affecting several million people each year. The majority of snakebites occur in rural areas and result from 4 species namely Russell's viper, Cobra, common krait, and saw-scaled viper. High mortality in rural areas is due to delayed visits to the hospital and a preference for traditional healers. There are limited studies available on the demographic and clinical profiles of snake bites from rural parts of Telangana, South India
