Abstract:
Brown recluse spiders, scientifically known as Loxosceles reclusa, are predominantly found in the United States of America. These spiders generally tend to stay in places away from human habitation. The bite of the spider can result in cutaneous loxoscelism or systemic loxoscelism, which manifests as haemolysis and renal abnormalities. Here, we report a case series of cutaneous loxoscelism.
