Anaphylactic Shock Following Bite by a ‘Slow Loris,’ Nycticebus Coucang

A case of anaphylaxis of the circulatory collapse type and complicated by hematuria following bite by a "slow loris" (Nycticebus coucang) is reported. Treatment consisted in supportive measures and an antihistamine. The patient made a full recovery. There was no clinical evidence of any toxic substance in the saliva of the loris in spite of a northern Thai folklore belief that Nycticebus is a venomous animal.
