(Baonghean.vn) - After 5 days of treatment, Ms. Linh did not survive.

Kraits have extremely poisonous venom.

According to the People's Committee of Nghia Lam commune (Nghia Dan), on July 8, Ms. Nguyen Thi Linh (born 2000), in Yen Phu village, passed away after 5 days of hospitalization due to being bitten by a cobra.

Previously, at around 2am on July 3rd, Ms. Nguyen Thi Linh was sleeping in a room on the second floor of her house. When she felt cold, she pulled the blanket over her and was bitten 3 times on the neck by a cobra under the blanket.

Her family quickly took her to the Northwestern Regional General Hospital for emergency care, then transferred her to Nghe An General Friendship Hospital. However, on July 8, Linh died.

In Vietnam, up to now, there have been 60 species of venomous snakes discovered, however, the krait species is one of the most venomous snakes. The krait species that often causes poisoning is the Northern krait (Bungarus multicinctus)and southern krait (Bungarus candidus).

Krait snake venom contains post-synaptic toxins and especially pre-synaptic toxins that cause prolonged flaccid paralysis. Krait snake venom and southern krait snake venom may contain natriuretic peptide toxins that increase renal sodium excretion leading to hyponatremia.
