The clinical picture caused by Loxosceles spider venom is characterized initially by an intense local inflammatory reaction and subsequent presence of dermonecrosis at the bite site. In previous studies it was found that phospholipases D with molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa are the main activities responsible for dermonecrotic, hemolytic and nephrotoxic activities. In addition, sev…
