Abstract

New Zealand has very few arthropods that pose a threat to human health. While most New Zealand spiders are considered harmless, the bite effects of most species are unknown. Here, we describe a case of a bite by a native spider, in which a young man was bitten after rolling over in his bed. The spider was collected and identified as Trite planiceps (Salticidae, black headed jumping spider), a native species commonly encountered around homes. The initial reaction was a relatively painful, sting-like, sensation, followed by the appearance of two red puncture marks and an urticarial wheal. Symptoms eventually disappeared after 72 hours, and he has had no further dermatological problems. Trite planiceps is considered to be a rather docile spider with regard to humans, but even a docile species may still bite defensively as a last resort. Notes on this species and on treatment of spider bites are provided.

Abstract

Aim: This audit was designed to compare current referral practice with the Ministry of Health elective services National Access Criteria for first Specialist Assessment (ACA) guidelines, to identify specific problems, and (if possible) to improve the use of acute dermatology services., Method: Information regarding referral source, information provided, urgency and diagnostic accuracy, time interval between referral and consultation date, and follow-up arrangements was collected via data sheet on each referral received. We confined the audit to acute referrals--ie, 'immediate and urgent cases' from general practitioners (GPs) that had been discussed with the dermatologist by phone, and internal referrals when an urgent consultation had been requested., Results: More acute referrals came from other hospital departments (74%) than from general practitioners (26%). Acute referrers, especially hospital teams, tended to overestimate the urgency with which a dermatological condition needed to be seen. Information about inpatients was often considered inadequate for triage. GP referrals contained more useful information. GP referral diagnostic accuracy is in keeping with other studies (approximately 50%) but the diagnostic accuracy of hospital doctors is well below this level. All acute referrals were seen within the recommended timeframe. Follow-up patterns were similar (whether referrals came from general practitioners or hospital teams) but for both groups there was a relatively high failure to attend rate., Conclusions: Inappropriate referrals are time-consuming and reduce our capacity for seeing community patients on the waiting list. To improve referral triage, we recommend that a referral letter that clearly specifies the information that should be provided. The majority of acute referrals did not comply with the ACA guidelines. We recommend applying the ACA guidelines to internal acute dermatology referrals (as well as those from GPs) to reduce unnecessary inpatient reviews, and to provide a better urgent service for those persons who truly require it.
