Abstract:
The results of 3 accidents with Poecilotheria fasciata and 1 with Pterinochilus sp. are reported. In one case the symptomatology following the bite of Poecilotheria was more marked than after the bites of different large American tarantulas on the same person. In the other three cases no essential effectiveness of the venoms could be observed.
