Abstract

The clinical course of a patient bitten by a widow spider (Latrodectus indistinctus Pickard-Cambridge (Araneae: Theridiidae] is described. Although this spider is common in southern Africa, case reports are rare. To date details of the development of pulmonary oedema after a bite have not been published in South Africa.
