spider bites/nausea

BACKGROUND Necrotic arachnidism continues to be attributed to wolf spider bites. This study investigates the clinical effects of bites by wolf spiders in Australia (family Lycosidae). METHODS Subjects were recruited prospectively from February 1999 to April 2001 from participating emergency

A patient was bitten on the hand by a spider and subsequently hemorrhagic herpes zoster developed at the site of the bite as well as over most of the area distal to the elbow (innervated by cutaneous nerves C5-C8). Mild systemic symptoms of nausea, abdominal cramping, and visual disturbances

Spider bites are a worldwide problem. Brown recluse spider bites can lead to severe local or systemic clinical effects, such as edema, necrotic ulcer, rashes, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, malaise, arthralgia, myalgia, hemolysis, leukocytosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, renal

An analysis has been made of 2144 consecutive cases of latrodectism (envenomation by the red-back spider, Latrodectus mactans hasselti) reported to the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories. In the last eight years, notifications have averaged 240 cases per annum. Bites, usually on the extremities (74%),

BACKGROUND Spider (Latrodectus tredecimguttatus) bites are relatively common in North East Iran. They induce morbidity and rarely mortality. We aimed to investigate clinical, electrocardiographic and para-clinical changes in patients with this bite. METHODS All consecutive patients admitted with

OBJECTIVE To classify and characterize spider bites among inquiries to the National Poison Information Center (NPIC) between 1995 and 2004, in terms of the epidemiology and clinical symptomatology. METHODS Clinical and epidemiological data were obtained from the NPIC's patient records. The following

BACKGROUND Black widow spiders are one of the most poisonous species to humans; there are more than 30 species of widow spiders in the globe but good thing that not all of them are dangerous. Some of these spiders produce toxic venoms, which cause broad spectrum of clinical manifestations including

BACKGROUND Loxosceles spiders are ubiquitous and responsible for many cases of envenomation in the world. The kind rufescens is present in the Provence and Occitan regions in France. During the summer 2015, we faced many Loxosceles rufescens cases of bites having led to extensive integumental

Spiders of the family Sparassidae occur on most continents in tropical and temperate regions of the world. They are large Araneomorphae (modern spiders) which are often feared. There are few reports of confirmed sparassid bites and some suggest that particular genera (Neosparassus) can cause severe

This article describes a patient whose intracerebral MRSA may have been caused by a spider bite to the thigh 2 months earlier. The patient's headache, nausea, and vomiting initially were thought to be caused by a high-grade glioma. Most brain abscesses have otogenic sources and are not from distant

Loxoscelism is a systemic inflammatory reaction in response to a brown recluse spider bite (BRSB). In this case we describe a patient with a heightened inflammatory response to a presumed BRSB, with Coomb's positive hemolysis, cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (cANCA) vasculitis, and

BACKGROUND Envenomation by black widow spiders manifests clinically with signs of neurotoxicity in paediatric patients. OBJECTIVE Identify typical neurological signs and symptoms in paediatric patients of different ages, and describe treatment and outcomes in a paediatric hospital in northwest
