Table 1. Laboratory findings at admission following a viper bite.
Initial laboratory findings obtained upon presentation after a viper bite included hematologic, coagulation, biochemical, and microbiological parameters. Findings revealed thrombocytopenia and mild coagulopathy, consistent with venom-induced hematologic effects. Abnormal values are marked with an asterisk (*). Reference intervals may vary slightly depending on laboratory standards.
