Abstract

We report an atypical course of a likely brown recluse spider bite in a 79-year-old male. The Rader scale and Loxosceles reclusa venom detection by ELISA provide supporting evidence for a loxoscelism diagnosis. Obtundation and myocardial infarction occurred following a drop in hemoglobin to 6.5g/dL. The rapid loss of blood volume was considered a significant etiologic factor for both the obtundation and myocardial infarction. The neurological symptoms reversed rapidly after packed red blood cell transfusion.
