Abstract
Background: Neurotoxic snake bite envenomation is a
common life threatening medical emergency in India,
especially in the rural areas.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a neurotoxic snake
envenomation presenting with abdominal pain and
neuromuscular paralysis, which developed bacterial meningitis
during her stay in the hospital. Possibly, secondary to the snake
bite, a very rare incidence.
Conclusion: Our case is a step towards the direction pointing
to the rare possibility of bacterial meningitis complicating
snake bites which needs further research.
