Abstract：
Tarantulas are commonly kept as pets and bites from some species can cause severe symptoms. Here we describe a case of a patient with transient atrial fibrillation (afib) and painful muscle cramps requiring hospitalization for pain management after being bitten by a Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli (Wessel\'s Tiger Ornamental) spider. He was discharged with a cardiac event monitor and outpatient cardiology follow-up. The event monitor documented transient afib which decreased in frequency then resolved halfway through the three-week monitoring period. In conclusion, tarantula envenomation is usually mild with local pain and edema most reported. However, bites by some species, such as P. tigrinawesseli may have local and more systemic, long-lasting effects.
摘要：
蜘蛛通常作为宠物饲养，某些物种的叮咬会引起严重的症状。在这里，我们描述了一个患有短暂性心房颤动（afib）和疼痛性肌肉痉挛的患者，该患者在被Poecilotheriatigrinawesseli（Wessel'sTigerOrnamental）蜘蛛咬伤后需要住院治疗以进行疼痛管理。他出院后接受了心脏事件监测仪和门诊心脏病学随访。事件监测器记录了频率降低的瞬态afib，然后在三周监测期间中途解决。总之,狼兰毒液通常是轻微的，局部疼痛和水肿报告最多。然而,被一些物种咬伤，例如P.tigrinawesseli可能具有局部和更系统性，持久的影响。
