Abstract
Abstract Seven cases of spider bite by Loxosceles rufescens are reported. The spider was identified in one of the cases. However, signs and symptoms were similar in all cases. Clinical manifestations consisted of local erythema, swelling, central necrosis and increased temperature. One patient vomited repeatedly. Skin lesions eventually healed, and only one resulted in a defect which had to be repaired.
