Popis: Bothrops erythromelas venom (BeV) has been responsible for many snake accidents in Brazil. We investigated the plasmatic pharmacokinetic of BeV labeled with 131 I in the absence and the presence of anti- Bothrops serum (BAS). A higher percentage of BeV plasmatic radioactivity and longer elimination were found in the presence of BAS. Our results showed a redistribution of venom from the tissue to vascular compartment associated with the treatment of envenomed mice with anti-venom 15 min after venom injection.
