Abstract

Brown recluse spider bites can cause ulcerations of the skin, intravascular hemolysis and death. Five clinical cases are presented with a summary of known pathological processes, clinical findings, and recommended methods of treatment. The possibility of systemic manifestation make the physician's knowledge of loxoscelism, early diagnosis and adequate treatment necessary.
