We report the case of a previously healthy 51-year-old man who presented to our hospital after worsening clinical appearance of his left ring finger, despite antibiotics and previous surgical drainage for suspected abscess at an outside institution 3 weeks ago. He was admitted to our hospital for surgical debridement and decompression. After suspicion of cutaneous loxoscelism based on the clinical record and corticosteroid administration, the patient presented a favorable evolution.
Cutaneous loxoscelism caused by a spider bite is present in Europe, mainly in the Mediterranean area, and should be considered in cases of skin infections which do not respond to antibiotics.
我们报告了一名51岁既往健康男性的病例,3周前他因左手环指临床表现恶化就诊于我院,尽管在外院因疑似脓肿接受了抗生素治疗及外科引流手术。他因外科清创及减压入院。根据临床记录怀疑为皮肤型蜘蛛咬伤中毒并给予皮质类固醇治疗后,患者病情好转。
蜘蛛咬伤所致的皮肤型蜘蛛咬伤中毒在欧洲存在,主要在地中海地区,对于抗生素治疗无效的皮肤感染病例应考虑该病。
