TF and Thrombocytopenia: Since fibrinogen consumption, thrombocytopenia, and secondary fibrinolysis are major hemostatic disturbances frequently observed in snakebite victims, the main objective of this study was to investigate the mechanisms that lead to the genesis of these laboratory signs in bites inflicted by B. jararaca. Furthermore, we evaluated whether TF levels were augmented in plasma and tissue samples obtained from animals during envenomation.
