Abstract EN
The envenomation syndrome of Redback spider bites, lactrodectism, is distinctive.
However diagnosis can be difficult due to an atypical presentation.
We describe the case of a 1 year old boy with irritability, diaphoresis and reduced oral intake, in whom a diagnosis was made of redback spider bite.
Successful resolution of symptoms was achieved following treatment with antivenom.
The symptoms and management of redback spider bites is discussed.
