N2  - A young woman who was bitten by a male funnel-web spider presented with early, severe pulmonary oedema which was successfully managed with positive and expiratory pressure ventilation. However, three days after envenomation, she developed a consumption coagulopathy which proved fatal. It is evident that our knowledge of the actions of the toxin is incomplete, and that the standard method of management advocated by previous writers is inadequate.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
