A man in Michigan developed deep vein thrombosis after reportedly being bitten by a brown recluse spider.
In the first known case of its kind, a man in Michigan developed recurrent deep vein thrombosis in both legs after reportedly being bitten by a brown recluse spider.
The six-eyed, solid-brown spiders are considered native to Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi and Alabama, as well as parts of Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. The 45-year-old man in the new case report went to an emergency department in Michigan following the brown recluse bite.
However, the man was"noncompliant with medication" and returned to the emergency department four days later with discoloration, mild swelling and worsening leg pain, the case report authors wrote. He underwent another thrombectomy and was advised to continue his anti-blood-clotting medications.
