Abstract: Medoggreenpit-viper bites are extremely rare in northern China. This article analyzed the clinical data, laboratory test results, treatment methods and the outcome of a case of poisoning from the Medoggreenpit-viper snake bite in the northern area. The main clinical manifestations of the patient were local swelling and bleeding. The wound was debrided immediately after the patient was admitted to the hospital, and vacuum suction was given after the debridement. After been treated with anti-Agkistrodon venom serum, anti-Gyrus serpent, anti-infection, organ protection, fluid replacement and diuresis, the patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The patients were generally in good condition after follow-up. This case suggested that regional poisoning treatment centers in the northern region should stock various anti-venom serums. At the same time, it is necessary to popularize knowledge of standard treatment of snake bites.
