SP - 584 EP - 585 VL - 26 IS - 5 N2 - A 68 year-old-man presented some twelve hours after a presumed Tiger Snake bite with coagulopathy, paralysis and muscle necrosis.

Delays to antivenom therapy after tiger snake envenomation can result in significant morbidity. Australian snakes are the most venomous in the world.
