On day 4, i.e. the 58th hour following the bite, the patient was extubated, with
muscular strength proving sufficient. The diffuse redness receded, with the limb’s
swelling temporarily progressing to the mid forearm. The patient was observed
over the next 24 hours until full extent of mobilization was reached with the
remission of neurological symptomatology and once hemodynamic stability was
achieved and per os intake recovered. The oedema regressed with only localized
extension on the finger. On day 5, the patient was transferred to the neurological
department of his local hospital, after two days of observation dismissed home fully
recovered.
