The causal agent in America is Latrodectus mactans known as"black widow","spider of the coloured(red) back" and "spider of the wheat". Later we report the case of a 47-year-old patient, whose picture is a product of the bite of Latrodectus mactans, consider this case to be relevant since we must know the clinical characteristics of this syndrome, opposite case we might meet immersed in a wide gamma of possibilities that go from a acute abdomen, tetanus, pancreatitis, up to a acute heart attack of myocardium.
