Article Abstract
We describe the clinical course of four children envenomated by C exilicauda,each presenting with an unusual or unusually severe manifestation of this event.Two required endotracheal intubation for respiratory failure and metabolic acidosis.Two had marked elevations of creatine phosphokinase(CPK),and one had a severe multiorgan system disease process.Two were noted to have pleocytosis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF),a finding not previously reported in the medical literature.
