“…6,7 The extent of necrosis relates directly to diffusion of the venom, 3 and maximal lesion severity predicts the time to healing. 8 Serum amyloid component P appears to be involved in platelet activation following envenomation. 9 Chemotaxis of neutrophils occurs, and their adherence to endothelial cell intercellular junctions is aided by E-selectin.…”

“…Erken cerrahi girişimler örümcek ısırıklarında, nekrozun artmasına ve daha derin dokulara penetre olmasına neden olur. Cerrahi debridman ve greft uygulanması için 4-8 hafta demarkasyon hattı oluşana kadar beklenmelidir (1,4,6).…”

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.

“…107 One approach that has evolved is that of using surgical excision only after a delay of 2 to 8 weeks to allow the venom and the subsequent acute-phase reactants to be degraded. 7 Ultimately, 3% of all cutaneous loxoscelism patients require skin grafting, either when the size of the lesion (>2 cm) or comorbidities such as peripheral vascular disease or diabetes mellitus make primary healing less likely.…”
