摘要：
Mambas are venomous African snakes that are capable of inflicting fatal envenomation. The mambas (genus Dendroaspis) are members of the family Elapidae [1]. Four species of mamba inhabit equatorial and southern Africa. Without medical treatment, mamba bites are frequently fatal. First aid treatment includes lymphatic retardation with immobilization and pressure wrap. Medical management requires the intravenous administration of mamba-specific antivenin.
