Accidents Caused by Spider Bites

Abstract: Accidents caused by spider bites occur in many countries and represent a public health problem due to their high severity and occurrence of fatal accidents. In Veterinary Medicine, the incidence of arachnidism is considered nonexistent in large animals, as their thick skin cannot be pierced, rare in cats and common in dogs, particularly due to their exploratory and curious habit, and the habitats of venomous animals, such as the arachnids, located close to urban areas. The aim of this review is to describe the… Show more

“…In this report, we present the case of a patient who suffered a bite from a Brown spider and who, during the treatment phase, was infected with the SARS-CoV-2. Accidents caused by spider bites are a public health problem in several regions, such as the Americas, Africa, Southern Europe, and China, due to the high number of occurrences and their severity, which can be fatal ( Camplesi et al, 2014 ; Chippaux, 2015 ; da Silva et al, 2004 ; Lopes et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Accidents involving these spiders have been described worldwide; however, they are most common in South America, where, in countries such as Brazil, Argentina and Peru, they are considered a public health problem. Accidents caused by Brown spider bite (in South America the species Loxosceles intermedia, L. laeta and L. gaucho predominate) correspond to the most severe form of bites by spiders in Brazil ( Camplesi et al, 2014 ; Chippaux, 2015 ). The southern states of Brazil (Paraná and Santa Catarina) are the regions with the highest number of accidents caused by Brown spiders ( da Silva et al, 2004 ; Lopes et al, 2020 ; Marques-da-Silva and Fischer, 2005 ).…”

“…Ctenus medius Keyserling, 1891 é facilmente confundida com as Phoneutria spp., principalmente com os machos adultos devido ao seu padrão de coloração e tamanho (Almeida et al 2000), e propriedades toxicológicas similares, principalmente a dor intensa ou hiperalgesia (Okamoto et al 2009), cujo sintoma é o caráter que define o acidente causado por Phoneutria sp. (Camplesi et al 2014). Essa suposição se justifica nos registros de Ctenus rectipes F.O.…”

“…Os casos de acidentes causados por aracnídeos têm crescido ao longo dos últimos anos assim como o número do agente causador não identificado (Camplesi et al 2014), contribuindo para os casos subnotificados. O número de acidentes tem crescido constantemente, de modo que o Brasil apresenta um dos maiores números de acidentes no mundo (Lourenço & Eickstead 2003), e hoje, a situação epidemiológica dos acidentes com aranhas e escorpiões contabilizam mais de 359.000 acidentes causados para aranhas e mais 800.000 acidentes causados por escorpiões do período de 2000 a 2016 (Acidentes por animais peçonhentos 2017).…”

“…Os acidentes com araneídeos têm apresentado aumento significativo nos últimos anos e, em muitos deles, o agente causador não é identificado, contribuindo para a subnotificação dos casos (CAMPLESI et al, 2014). Muitos são os fatores associados ao aumento no número de casos, no entanto, a migração das aranhas para ambientes domésticos, onde encontram condições favoráveis para o seu desenvolvimento, tais como abrigo contra predação, disponibilidade de alimento e clima adequado, ocasionam contato com o ser humano, propiciando os acidentes (WEISS; PAIVA, 2017).…”
