Utilization of dapsone and hemoglobin in the epithelial skin regeneration therapy of cutaneous loxoscelism: A case report and integrative literature review.

Background: Loxosceles spp are arthropods found worldwide. Its bite may produce cutaneous loxoscelism (necrotic or edematous) or cutaneous-visceral loxoscelism. Depending on their severity and location, cutaneous forms are managed with local cold application and systemic administration of antihistamines, corticosteroids, antibiotics, polymorphonuclear inhibitors, and analgesics.

Clinical Evolution After Administering Antivenom in Patients With Loxoscelism.

Among them, the "violin spider" or "brown spider" of the genus (family Sicariidae) has a worldwide distribution, and its bite can cause loxoscelism.
