Venenos de serpiente: de la investigación al tratamiento

Abstract

The present work offers a brief overview on how the problem of ophidism has been confronted in Costa Rica, and especially, on how scientific and technological research has contributed to this goal. The origins of the antiophidic struggle in the country and the creation of the Instituto Clodomiro Picado, at the University of Costa Rica in 1970, are briefly summarized. The first stages of its work are described, as well as the evolution of different research areas on snakes, venoms and antivenoms; which have contributed during four decades to the existence of adequate and sufficient therapeutic resources to tackle ophidism in Costa Rica and in the Central American region.

El presente trabajo ofrece una breve visión de cómo se ha enfrentado el problema del ofidismo en Costa Rica, y en especial, de cómo la investigación científica y tecnológica ha contribuido a tal fin. Se resumen los orígenes de la lucha antiofídica en el país y de la creación del Instituto Clodomiro Picado en la Universidad de Costa Rica, en 1970. Se describen las primeras etapas de su labor, y la evolución de distintas líneas de investigación sobre serpientes, venenos y antivenenos, que por espacio de cuatro décadas han contribuido a que en el país y en la región centroamericana, existan recursos terapéuticos adecuados y suficientes para enfrentar el ofidismo.
