Abstract
Vipera berus is the only venomous snake living in Belarus. Poison of a viper has a hemorrhagic and necrotizing effect. As a result of the poisoning with these poisons, hemorrhagic hypostases, blood clotting disorders, and destruction of tissues develop, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome or even a fatal outcome. It is extremely dangerous when a viper bites a person into the area of the heart or neck. If medical aid is not provided in time, the person may die of suffocation as the edema on the neck will weigh upon the trachea [1, 2]. The article presents the observation of clinical cases of MODS development in children after a viper`s bite and the favorable outcome after performing a course of intensive care at ICU Gomel Regional Clinical Hospital.
