Abstract

This unusual case of massive hemothorax developed following snakebite envenomation resulted in massive drop in hemoglobin, from 13.2 to 3.1g/dL, in three-days, and severe respiratory distress that required a number of thoracocentesis. He was stable until day-two of admission, then fully-deteriorated on day-three which reflects the need for close observation.
