- Venomous bites and stings in Australia to 2005 29 May 2008
This report describes the bites and stings due to contact with venomous
animals and plants that resulted in a separation from an Australian hospital
in the period 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2005. Analyses of bite and sting
cases over time (1999–2005) are also presented.
Hospitalised bites and stings were most frequently attributed to spiders,
bees and wasps while snakebites were a less frequent cause of hospitalisation.
Higher rates of serious bites and stings were generally observed for males
and for younger people. Little change in the rate of hospitalised bites and
stings was noted over time.
This report demonstrates that changes made to the ICD-10-AM classification
system from 1 July 2002 have greatly improved the specificity and utility of
hospitalised bite and sting data.
