Overview
Recovery is usually complete, though the patient usually develops a sensitivity to equine immunoglobulin. If the patient develops serum sickness, the severity is reduced by steroid administration (eg. prednisolone 1mg/kg every 8 hours) until resolution occurs. A course of steroids is recommended in all patients who receive polyvalent antivenoms.
