Abstract
A 28-year-old previously healthy man was diagnosed as having an extensive necrotic lesion of his calf due to loxoscelism. One year later he was diagnosed as having co-inheritance of mutations in factor V and methyl tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). This is the first report of a possible etiologic connection between loxoscelism necrotic lesions and thrombogenic diseases.
