Hemoadsorption in Multiorgan Failure Due to Viscerocutaneous Loxoscelism.
Medicina (Kaunas)
January 2025
Department of Nephrology, Hospital Central de la Defensa Gómez Ulla, 28047 Madrid, Spain.
: The bite of the Loxosceles spider is a public health problem around the world, mainly in Latin America. The viscerocutaneous presentation is related to the inoculation of toxins (phospholipase-D) that generates a systemic inflammatory reaction with a subsequent increase in cytokines and chemokines. Hemoadsorption is proposed as a therapy that allows for the removal of the toxin and modulation of the inflammatory response in this disease.
