Objectives.—In India, venomous snakebite remains an enigma. Although ineffective first aid treat-
ments that are centuries old continue to be used by people bitten by snakes, important factual infor-
mation, such as the importance and uniqueness of bites by the northern saw-scaled viper (Echis
sochureki), has been largely lost and forgotten. In this paper, we report the first systematically gathered
data on the clinical course of envenoming by E sochureki in Rajasthan, India. Clinical information is

Methods.—A data collection form was developed and used to prospectively gather clinical infor-
mation regarding patients who were bitten by E sochureki and who brought the dead snake with them
to hospital. All snakes were definitively identified by an experienced
