Abstract

Commonly, simple cutaneous lesions are seen after spider bites, especially with loxosceles species. However, systemic findings of nausea, vomiting, arthralgia, hemolysis,' thrombocytopenia, renal failure and DIC rarely occur after spider bites. Loxoscelism defined as the combined presentation cutaneous and systemic findings together. 'The cutaneous lesion which is usually asymptomatic emerges as an erythematous may progress to ulceration and necrosis leading to amputation, loss of extremity function and eschar formation. It is essential to consider the diagnosis of loxoscelism in the differential diagnosis of insect bites in order to arrange close follow-up and minimize the local and systemic complications. In this study we present a patient who was treated in the emergency department with a erythematous cutaneous lesion which progressed to necrosis in a 2-3 week period and required surgical debridment. We also review the literature of spider bites and their treatment in the emergency department.

Özet

Örümcek ısırıkları, özellikle de Loxosceles örümceği ısırıkları sonrası çoğunlukla basit cilt lezyonları görülmesine karşın, nadiren de olsa bulantı, kusma, eklem ağrısı, hemoliz, trombositopeni, renal yetmezlik ve DİC gibi sistemik toksisite bulguları da görülebilir. Sistemik ve kutanöz semptomların bir arada bulunduğu klinik tablo Loxoscelism olarak adlandırılır. Genelikle asemptomatik olan ve ekstremitede eritem şeklinde başlayan cilt lezyonu; skar oluşumuna kadar giden şiddetli cilt ülserasyonuna, nekroza, ışınlan bölgenin fonksiyon kaybına ve ampütasyonuna neden olabilir. Bu tablo "Nekrotizan Araknidizm" olarak adlandırılır. Bu nedenle Loxosceles türü örümceklerin ısırıklarının erken tanı ve tedavisinin sağlanması sistemik komplikasyonlar ve lokal komplikasyonları önlemek açısından önem taşır. Bu yazıda örümcek ısırığına bağlı olduğu düşünülen, küçük bir eritem olarak başlayıp tedaviye rağmen iki üç hafta içinde nekroza giden ve cerrahi debridman gerektiren bir olgu ile örümcek ısırıklarına yaklaşım literatür ışığı altında anlatıldı.
