Türkiye'de yapılan epidemiyolojik çalışmalar bu durumdan özellikle dişilerin etkilendiğine işaret etmektedir. Tanı ise anamneze bağlı olup ağrı, eritem, endurasyon ve belki haşerenin sokma noktasının görülmesine bağlıdır. Gebelikte envenomizasyon ise çok daha riskli olmasına rağmen üzerinde oldukça az çalışılmış bir konudur oysa ki hem maternal ve hem de fetal riskler söz konusudur. Biz bu yazımızda bir vakamızı literatür eşliğinde tartışmak istedik.
