ABSTRACT

In Mexico, poisonous arthropods accidents caused by scorpions of the genus Centruroides and spiders of the genera Loxosceles and Latrodectus, constitute an important problem of public health, since the reported rates account for more than 200,000 accidents per year, of scorpion bites and about 3,000 to 5,000 due to spiders. The effective therapy should be initiated as soon as possible, in order to avoid fatal outcomes. At present the election treatment consist in the administration of fabotherapics, compounds that use the immunoglobulin G F(ab’) segment, which neutralizes the action of the poisons and lack of inconvenient reactions of traditional serotherapy.
