“…Mean lesion areas in another study of brown recluse envenomation in guinea pigs were comparable, as was mean lesion area variability [2]. Rabbit models of brown recluse envenomation [3,5] have larger lesion areas and less variability, suggesting that rabbit is a better animal to study Loxosceles envenomations than guinea pig. The treatment was administered immediately after venom injection, which is not a practical consideration in most clinical cases in humans because presentations to medical treatment usually occur after the lesion development.…”

“…Treatment is wound management. Proposed therapies include dapsone [1][2][3], hyperbaric oxygen [1,4], cyproheptadine [3], colchicine [1], triamcinolone [3], diphenhydramine [3], electric shock [2], and topical nitroglycerin [5] applied to the site. None have been tested in randomized controlled studies in humans, but controlled studies in other mammalian species have been performed.…”

“…Bunun yararlı olup olmadığına ait kanıt için ise klinik ve deneysel çalışma gerekmektedir. Kortikosteroidlerse yatarak tedavinin başlangıcında yangısal yanıtın azaltılabilmesi için düşük dozda kullanılmaya başlanmıştır (7,27,28). Taburculuk sonrasına kadar devam eden süreçte azaltılarak kullanılan düşük doz kortikosteroid kullanımı, Loxoscelism ve sepsis tablosuna gidişte akut faz reaktanlarının kontrol altında tutulmasında olası katkısı yeni çalışmalar ile tartışılabilir.…”

“…Es una placa violácea dolorosa, rodeada por un halo eritematoso. Evoluciona a la formación de una escara necrótica que se desprende y deja una úlcera que cicatriza lentamente 8 . El tratamiento consiste en aplicación de hielo local, elevación de la extremidad, corticoides sistémicos, analgesia y antihistamínicos.…”
