Why is it important?
We found that hypnale nepa bites frequently cause local envenoming effects and rarely cause systemic manifestations.
Perspectives
I am happy that this is the first study done involving more patients following H. nepa bites. Clinicians are able to use this knowledge when managing patients with H. nepa bites
