It is very difficult to check the severity and clinical
course of the toxicity in snake bite patients by virtes
of clinical manifestation and laboratory tests. And we
observed the findings of bone sean with ggmTc-MDP in
two snake bite patients. First pati nt was bitten in
the right ankle with local pain and swelling. The
finding of bone scan of him was increased uptake of
radionuclide in the soft tissue of right leg and thigh.
Others were normal findings. Second patient was bitten
in the right hand. But his symptom was severe and he
com- plained local pain and swelling, nausea, blurred
vision, and oliguria. The bone scan findings of secand
patient was; Increased uptake of radionuclide in the
soft tissue of whole body. Decreased uptake in the bone
tissue, Renal outline was not delineated, Follow up
study 10 days after, revealed more improved findings in
the scan. |
