Necrotic Arachnidism: Brown Recluse Bites
摘要
Brown recluse spiders are known for the necrotic skin lesions they may produce. However, there is frequent misdiagnosis of brown recluse bites due to similar dermonecrotic lesions resulting from other conditions such as impetigo, decubitus ulcers, staph infections, ecthyma gangrenosum, and the like. This chapter presents facts and fables about brown recluse spiders, their bite reactions, and various treatment and control strategies.
