 Snake bites are a major public health issue in the Brazilian Amazon, leading to physical deficiencies and local complications. Indigenous populations have limited access to anti-venom treatments, resulting in more severe outcomes than those seen in non-Indigenous populations. Three cases of severe disabilities were reported in Indigenous children due to Bothrops atrox snake bites with symptoms including compartment syndrome, secondary bacterial infections, and extensive necrosis. Delayed anti-venom treatment due to fragmented transportation routes and lack of rehabilitative services resulted in extended hospital stays and separation from home and family. These cases highlight the need for prospective studies to assess the burden of disabilities from snake bites in the Amazon region so that public policy can be developed to provide culturally appropriate care and rehabilitation.
