Abstract
Antitoxinum viperinum was tested for its ability to prevent alteration of the myocardium induced by Vipera ammodytes ammodytes venom. Antivenom was injected intraperitoneally either immediately, 30 min or 2 hr after the intraperitoneal injection of venom. The light microscopic examination showed that the antiserum neutralized the effects of venom and antivenom might be useful in treating V.a. ammodytes venom poisoning.
