We describe a recent case of presumed redback spider (Latrodectus hasselti) envenomation observed near Noumea in New Caledonia. This is the first local reported case in this archipelago, where L. hasselti is currently considered a native species. We highlight the challenge of providing appropriate analgesia in this situation and believe that the use of specific redback spider antivenom should be considered in New Caledonia.
我们描述了最近在新喀里多尼亚努美阿附近观察到的一例疑似红背蜘蛛（寇蛛）咬伤病例。这是该群岛首次报告的本地病例，目前红背蜘蛛在该群岛被视为本地物种。我们强调了在这种情况下提供适当镇痛的挑战，并认为新喀里多尼亚应考虑使用特定的红背蜘蛛抗蛇毒血清。
