In a descriptive, retrospective study from 2007 to 2012, 803 reports of snakebites were reported to the epidemiology surveillance system of the department of Sucre.

In 48.2% of cases, the genus B othrops was identified as the offending agent and in 83.9% of cases, the bite was found in the patient’s limbs. In 356 cases or 44% of patients were not hospitalized or the information of this record was not found. In the treatment of hospitalized cases between 4.3 ± 4.5 shots were used per patient; This data is consistent with the protocol for registered mild cases (n = 450), but on reviewing individual cases, it was found that 228 patients received only 1 to 3 ampoules.
