Tularemia presenting as suspected necrotic arachnidism [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports (discontinued), 2017
Key Clinical MessageThe true danger of the spider bite stems from misdiagnosis and resultant delay in proper treatment of entities that, unlike spider bites, are not self‐limited. Obtaining a complete exposure and travel history is central to the development of an accurate and appropriate differential diagnosis.

Acute necrotic arachnidism with necrotising fasciitis and recurrent pneumothorax. [PDF]

BMJ Case Rep, 2022
A male infant presented with swelling of the left leg and fever. Over the next 2 days, the area developed fasciitis extending to the left thigh, abdomen, and lower chest. Meanwhile, the parents found a giant brown spider within the infant’s cot belonging to the genus Loxosceles, otherwise called the brown recluse spider.

Necrotic Arachnidism—Pacific Northwest, 1988-1996

JAMA - Journal of the American Medical Association, 1996
Although spider bites are common in many parts of the United States, most domestic spiders are not substantially venomous to man. The best known exceptions are widow spiders (Latrodectus spp., including the black widow L. mactans) and brown spiders (Loxesceles spp., particularly the brown recluse, Lox. reclusa).

Allergy to stings and bites from rare or locally important arthropods: Worldwide distribution, available diagnostics and treatment

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

The tick and I: Parasite‐host interactions between ticks and humans

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 818-853, June 2022., 2022
Summary Ticks, particularly hard ticks (Ixodidae), which are among the most important vectors of dangerous infectious agents, feed on their hosts for extended periods of time. With this lifestyle, numerous adaptations have evolved in ticks and their hosts, the pharmacological importance of which is increasingly being recognized.

New Record of Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) from Bashagard District, Southern Iran, with the Report of a Medically Important Species

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Spiders are the largest order of arachnids with some medically important species. Considering that no comprehensive research has been conducted on the fauna and distribution of Araneae in Bashagard County (Hormozgan Province) so far, the present investigation has been carried out on these essential issues in this deprived tropical region.

Cancer therapeutics inspired by defense mechanisms in the animal kingdom

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 13, Issue 7, Page 1681-1700, August 2020., 2020
Abstract Many animals have evolved toxins to defend themselves from predators and hunt prey. These toxins have been honed over millions of years by the unique selective pressures on each organism leading to a vast array of potent bioactive compounds, many of which have therapeutic potential.

Esophageal stenosis secondary to severe loxoscelism: A case report

JPGN Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 252-254, May 2026.
Abstract Loxoscelism is a public health issue in tropical countries, particularly in Brazil. It can affect children of all ages and may lead to severe and irreversible injuries. We report the case of an infant who suffered a severe loxoscelism accident in the cervical region, progressing to esophageal stricture requiring multiple dilations. Fortunately,

Intravascular Coagulation: The Cause of Necrotic Arachnidism

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1973
Venom from the brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) when injected into the skin of rabbits causes a characteristic inflammatory necrotic ulcer, comparable to the natural necrotic spider bite seen in man. In the rabbit the progressive hemorrhage and painful necrosis of the skin are associated with thrombocytopenia, fibrinogenemia, and prolongation ...
