Retrospective review of black widow spider envenomation
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1985Because there are few recent studies of black widow spider (Latrodectus Mactans) envenomation, a six-year retrospective study was conducted by patients admitted to or discharged from our hospital with this diagnosis. Fourteen patients with apparently severe envenomation were found and reviewed for the frequency of presenting signs and symptoms, the use
