Objective: To analyze the effect of Snake Antivenins and Agkistrodon Acutus Antivenin in the treatment of trimeresurus stejnegeri bite. Method: A total of 126 patients with trimeresurus stejnegeri bite who admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Longyan, Fujian Medical University from January 2019 to December 2022 were included as the study objects, and they were divided into the anti-pit viper group, the anti-five-step snake group and the combined group, with 42 cases in each group. The anti-pit viper group was treated with Snake Antivenins, the anti-five-step snake group was treated with Agkistrodon Acutus Antivenin, and the combined group was treated with Snake Antivenins combined Agkistrodon Acutus Antivenin. The rehabilitation and the blood routine, inflammatory indexes and coagulation function before and after treatment among three groups were compared. Result: The swelling disappearance time of affected limb, pain disappearance time and hospitalization time in the combined group were shorter than those in the anti-pit viper group and the anti-five-step snake group, the swelling disappearance time of affected limb, pain disappearance time and hospitalization time in the anti-five-step snake group were shorter than those in the anti-pit viper group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the erythrocyte, hemoglobin, white blood cell count, calcitonin, C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A, prothrombin time, thrombin time and fibrinogen in three groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), the erythrocyte, hemoglobin and fibrinogen in the combined group were higher than those in the anti-pit viper group and the anti-five-step snake group, the white blood cell count, calcitonin, C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A were lower than those in the anti-pit viper group and the anti-five-step snake group, the prothrombin time and thrombin time were shorter than those in the anti-pit viper group and the anti-five-step snake group, and the erythrocyte, hemoglobin and fibrinogen in the anti-five-step snake group were higher than those in the anti-pit viper group, the white blood cell count, calcitonin, C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A in the anti-five-step snake group were lower than those in the anti-pit viper group, and the prothrombin time and thrombin time in the anti-five-step snake group were shorter than those in the anti-pit viper group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both Snake Antivenins and Agkistrodon Acutus Antivenin can effectively improve the blood routine, inflammatory response and coagulation function of patients bitten by trimeresurus stejnegeri, the improvement effect of Agkistrodon Acutus Antivenin is better than that of Snake Antivenins, the combination of two can further enhance the clinical efficacy, accelerate the rehabilitation process, and shorten the time of symptom improvement and hospitalization.
