latrodectism การใช้

• Bites from Katipo spiders produce a syndrome known as latrodectism.
• A third of the children developed latrodectism and there were no deaths.
• The venom acts on nerve endings causing the very unpleasant symptoms of latrodectism.
• Sweating in localised patches of skin occasionally occurs and is highly indicative of latrodectism.
• It acts on nerve endings, causing the very unpleasant symptoms of latrodectism when humans are bitten.
• Latrodectism has been misdiagnosed as various medical conditions including acute hepatitis, sepsis, testicular torsion or an acute abdomen.
• A katipo bite produces the toxic syndrome latrodectism; symptoms include extreme pain and, potentially, hypertension, seizure, or coma.
• The clinical features of latrodectism are similar for all species of " Latrodectus " spiders and is generally characterised by extreme pain.
• However, good evidence to support the effectiveness of widow spider antivenoms is lacking and studies have cast some doubt on antivenoms efficacy in latrodectism.
• A bite may cause latrodectism, and requires medical attention in the case of increasingly severe discomfort or spreading local redness accompanied by severe pain.
• The venomous bite of these spiders is considered particularly dangerous because of the neurotoxin latrotoxin, which causes the condition latrodectism, both named for the genus.
• Several other members of " Latrodectus " genus are not commonly associated with latrodectism including the cosmopolitan brown widow ( " L . geometricus " ).
• It is thought that in some instances " Steatoda capensis " can bite humans causing a syndrome known as steatodism; which has been described as a less-severe form of latrodectism.
• Predominantly neurotoxic to vertebrates, the venom gives rise to the syndrome of latrodectism in humans; this starts with pain around the bite site, which typically becomes severe and progresses up the bitten limb and persists for over 24 hours.
• It acts on nerve endings, causing the very unpleasant symptoms of latrodectism when humans are bitten, although brown button spiders are not generally as venomous as black button or black widow spiders, such as " L . indistinctus ".
• The symptoms associated with the bite of several " Steatoda " species are known in the medical profession as "'steatodism "'; and have been described as a less-severe form of latrodectism ( the symptoms associated with a widow spider bite ).
