Abstract
Snakebite is an important health concern causing 138,00 deaths worldwide and mostly across South Asia, Southeast Asia and sub‐sahara countries with india reports major deaths of any country. Hematotoxic, neurotoxic as well as myotoxic are the common manifestations of snake bite. Clinical manifestations vary among species, season to season as well as ontogenetically due to varying venom constituents and its effects. Involuntary movement like myokymia is a rare manifestation although few cases reported in timber rattlesnake and pit viper. There is no documented case report of myokymia due to krait bite. We report a case of krait bite in a 50 years old male who developed generalized involuntary, spontaneous and fine movement of muscle (consistent with myokymia) group over chest, upper and lower limb which improved after antisnake venom, calcium gluconate and atropine‐neostigmine. He got discharged after 7 days.
