Abstract

This case report describes a systemic reaction occurring in a 12-year-old female following presumed envenomation by a brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa). The systemic reaction included self-limited hemolysis necessitating blood transfusion. The clinical course and management are described and compared with those of previously reported cases of systemic loxoscelism.
