I mmunotherapy is the only specific treatment of severe viper envenomation to reduce the mortality. Plasmapheresis has been reported in a few articles mentioning the empirical use in envenomation. In 2006, a Turkish team reported in 16 patients poisoned the rapid improvement of hemostasis in the aftermath of a plasmapheresis. But in 2007, an Australian team showed no improvement by this technique for the evolution of four bites Pseudonaja an Australian élapidé in patients who had received specific antivenom. In 2009, a Moroccan team discussed the improvement in 48 hours hemostasis of a patient poisoned by a snake, with two sessions of plasmapheresis, while antivenom was not available. A recent clinical case of a bite by Echis pyramidum was ineffectively treated by a specific E antivenin. Echis carinatus shows only transient improvement induced by plasmapheresis. An earlier article had not shown any improvement plasmapheresis at the time evolution of a bite from Bothrops asper . Total elimination of toxins or ophidian protein plasmapheresis treatment can be attempted as a last chance when the antivenom treatment is not available, but, in the absence of randomized comparison or measurement of concentrations of venom before and after the sessions, it has not yet made the factual evidence of its effectiveness.
