The brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa), found in many areas of the United States, is capable of producing significant medical problems and potentially life-threatening systemic manifestations. This paper reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, pathophysiology, and management of the brown spider bite.

Toxicon, 2004
Accidents caused by brown spiders (Loxosceles genus) are classically associated with dermonecrotic lesions and systemic manifestations including intravascular haemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and acute renal failure. Systemic reactions occur in a minority of cases, but may be severe in some patients and occasionally fatal.

Brown Recluse Spider Envenomation
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2006Brown recluse spider bite is a common diagnosis in almost every state in America. In fact, cases have been reported in areas where the spider has never been seen. A review of medical literature reveals that most current concepts regarding brown recluse spider envenomation are based on supposition.

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1988
A review of the literature confirms that the brown recluse spider bite is a common and sometimes serious clinical entity. Local and systemic manifestations are extremely variable, thus complicating management of the bite. Pathophysiological studies in laboratory animals yield conflicting results and therapeutic recommendations because of technical and ...

Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing, 1997
The case of a young man with a chronic, resistant, and unpredictable wound is described. The wound is believed to have been caused by the bite of a brown recluse spider. This article presents a brief overview of the potential sequelae of brown recluse spider bite and a pictorial review of this young man's wound during a 22-month period.

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2006
The venom from spiders of the genus Loxosceles, the most famous being Loxosceles recluse (the most brown recluse spider) can cause serious poisoning. These spiders inhabit the south and south central states from Georgia through Texas and north to southern Wisconsin.

Harefuah, 1990
The diagnosis of bite by the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusus, is rarely based on absolute identification of the insect because the victims are usually bitten while sleeping or dressing. More often, the history, clinical findings and course of the bite lead to the diagnosis.

Histological Findings After Brown Recluse Spider Envenomation
The American Journal of Dermatopathology, 2000Histologic specimens from 41 rabbits were studied for changes resulting from the manual injection of brown recluse spider venom. Major findings included a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate, coagulative tissue necrosis, and vasculitis. All specimens demonstrated a well-delineated zone of eosinophilic staining recognizable as "mummified" coagulative ...

Classic brown recluse spider bite
International Journal of Academic Medicine, 2016A 58-year-old female presented with leg paresthesia and rash. On presentation, the rash was most consistent with cellulitis and cephalexin was started. The next day vesicles appeared which were presumed to be shingles and acyclovir was started. They evolved into a fully necrotic lesion on day 4 and had the classic presentation of a brown recluse spider

Management of the Brown Recluse Spider Bite
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1981A model to study the dermonecrotic effects of a crude fraction of venom from the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) was developed using female New Zealand white rabbits. In the rabbit model, surgical excision of the sites of intradermally injected crude venom did not always prevent subsequent necrosis or wound dehiscence despite the use of ...
