Abstrakt: The article focuses on the clinical profile of spider bite in southern Africa, citing that the diagnosis can be difficult particularly if the patient is unaware of having been bitten. The medically important spiders are classified into two groups including the neurotoxic, belonging to the genus Latrodectus (button or widow spiders), and the cytotoxic, belonging to the genus Cheiracanthium (sac spiders) and Laxosceles (violin or recluse spiders).
