Early diagnose and treatment in spider bites of Loxosceles species is extremely important in prevention of systemic and local complications. There is not any specific laboratory test or diagnostic clue except lesion's morphology and patient anamnesis. Thus inspection in physical examination and clinical follow-up of such lesions should be remembered. Here, we present two cases of suspected insect bites, one of whom was diagnosed as necrotizing arachnidism due to spider bite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
