Résumé

Despite the wide distribution of the Persian false-horned viper (Pseudocerastes persicus) in the Middle East, few identified bites have been reported. A 33-year-old herpetologist bitten on the hand by Pseudocerastes persicus in Kerman Province, Southeastern Iran, developed local pain and extensive swelling with mild non-specific systemic symptoms and minimal laboratory evidence of systemic envenoming.
