Abstract
Isolated prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is an exceedingly rare finding in the event of a snakebite from a haemotoxic snake. Herein, we present the case of a 25-year-old asymptomatic female following snakebite. Laboratory testing revealed prolonged aPTT which persisted inspite of administration of 30 vials of antisnake venom. Further diagnostic testing eventually led to the diagnosis of antiphosholipid syndrome.
