The spider genus Latrodectus, commonly called “widow spider,” is found all over the world. Widow venom contains α-latrotoxin, which provokes a massive presynaptic release of acetylcholine. Information about spider bites and envenomation during pregnancy is lacking so the aim of this study was to characterize the clinical effects, treatments, outcomes of pregnant women bitten by widow spiders analyzing all the available peer reviewed literature.

Abstract
The spider genus Latrodectus, commonly called “widow spider,” is found all over the world. Widow venom contains α-latrotoxin, which provokes a massive presynaptic release of acetylcholine. Information about spider bites and envenomation during pregnancy is lacking so the aim of this study was to characterize the clinical effects, treatments, outcomes of pregnant women bitten by widow spiders analyzing all the available peer reviewed literature.
