Abstract
- The article presents a case study of chronic hepatitis in a captive poisonous Russell's viper in India. A detailed necropsy of the dead snake revealed chronic hepatitis coupled with intestinal helminthosis affecting the kidneys. Histopathological examination of Haematoxylin and Eosin stained liver sections revealed massive infiltration of lobules by chronic inflammatory cells which caused the viper's death.
