The envenoming caused by snakes of the genus Bothrops is often associated with serious and complex pathological manifestations, which includes pain, swelling, inflammatory process, hemorrhage and myonecrosis. The specific treatment for botropic accident is the use of antivenom therapy, which performs the function of neutralizing the largest possible amount of venom in the circulation, how…
Background: Envenoming induced by Bothrops snakebites is characterized by drastic local tissue damage that involves an intense inflammatory reaction and local hyperalgesia which are not neutralized by conventional antivenom treatment. Herein, the effectiveness of photobiomodulation to reduce inflammatory hyperalgesia induced by Bothrops moojeni venom (Bmv), as well as the mechanisms invol…
Background: Snakebites is a neglected disease and in Brazil is considered a serious health problem, with the majority of the snakebites caused by the genus Bothrops. Antivenom therapy and other first-aid treatments do not reverse local myonecrose which is the main sequel caused by this envenomation. Several studies have shown the effectiveness of low level laser (LLL) therapy in reduc…

The majority of snake envenoming in Latin America are caused by species of the genus Bothrops. The venom of these snakes has proteins that degrade the extracellular matrix and interfere with the coagulation cascade, hemostatic system and tissue repair. The specific treatment of Botropic is antivenom, however its efficacy is limited and its availability in health centers is reduced. The re…
The venom of snakes of the Bothrops species, induces a local inflammatory reaction, characterized by pain, edema, leukocyte migration and can be accompanied by tissue necrosis. The use of antivenom performs the function of neutralizing the greatest possible amount of circulating venom, thus minimizing its systemic effects, but its action does not extend to local manifestations, and thus r…
The Bothrops are responsible for the largest number of snakebites in Brazil presenting serious systemic effects in addition to inducing a pathophysiological framework characterized by local reactions such as hemorrhage, edema, myonecrosis and intense pain. The antivenom is still the only effective therapeutic measure for Bothrops snakebites. However, the venom, despite its effective actio…
