Abstract

Necrotizing dermatitis, or arachnidism, is a new life-threatening syndrome of which many clinicians are unaware. The condition commences as a rapidly spreading, painful skin inflammation which progresses to fulminating necrotizing dermatitis, involving considerable skin loss. Two cases of arachnidism are presented.
