Question
In snake bite with heamatotoxicity, does FDP positivity have any role in management or prognosis of snake bite? Is it superior to PT or APTT in detecting clotting disorder in snakebite?
Answer
FDP dimer is a more definite indicator of a coagulopathy in a child with snakebite than even APTT. However, it has no role in the prognosis as children with deranged clotting time rarely have clinical bleeding in a patient with snakebite.
