In this study, an ELISA-based venom detection kit developed by research group in previous studies was utilized to detect venoms in samples (including 115 blood, 119 urine and 4 blister fluid samples) from 122 snake bite patients admitted to Cho Ray hospital. The results showed that: - For green pit viper: the detection rate for venom was 62.5 percent (in patients diagnosed of green pit viper bitten); in the sub-group of patients who had blood coagulation disorder, the detection rate was 81.08 percent. - For the common cobra: the detection rate was 68.42 percent. - The degree of diagnosis agreement between ELISA testing results and clinical diagnosis for green pit viper and common cobra was acceptable and relatively high (with kappa value of 0.56 and 0.79, respectively).
