Intended Audience: Pathologists, Residents, Clinical Scientists, Pathologist Assistants

Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

Define and characterize the clinical syndrome known as loxoscelism, including some of the common clinical manifestations of this condition and patient population most at risk for severe complications.
Discuss the pathophysiology of loxoscelism, particularly how it may lead to both intravascular and extravascular hemolytic anemia
Describe the best laboratory predictors for hemolytic anemia in patients with suspected loxoscelixm.
List aspects of loxoscelism which may reduce the sensitivity and specificity of urinalysis for detecting hemolysis
