| description |
Paederus contact dermatitis is a skin disease caused by beetles of the genus Paederus and the release of a vesicant substance called paederin. It is worldwide distributed; However, it is more common in rainy seasons and hot climates. The clinical manifestations are vesicle-pustules that settle on erythematous skin. Treatment is based on washing with soap and water to neutralize the action of the toxin and the administration of topical steroids in short cycles. We report the case of a 28-year-old male patient who came to the dermatology clinic with a 48-hour history of two erythematous plaques with central blisters plus superficial ulceration located on the flexor aspect of the arm and right forearm, accompanied by a sensation of burning and itching at the site of the lesions, without other accompanying symptoms. As background, he states that he was on vacation in the coastal region of Ecuador when the lesions appeared. An incisional biopsy was performed and due to the clinical characteristics and the history of travel to a tropical region, it was diagnosed as Paederus dermatitis and treatment with antihistamines, topical steroids and cold compresses was indicated. After 8 days of treatment, the lesions subsided, leaving post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. |

La dermatitis de contacto por Paederus es una enfermedad cutánea causada por los coleópteros del género Paederus y la liberación de una sustancia vesicante llamada paederina. Es de distribución mundial; sin embargo, es más frecuente en temporadas de lluvia y en climas cálidos. Las manifestaciones clínicas son vesículo-pústulas que se asientan sobre piel eritematosa. El tratamiento se basa en el aseo con agua y jabón para neutralizar la acción de la toxina y laadministración de esteroides tópicos en ciclos cortos. Se comunica el caso de un paciente masculino de 28 años, que acude a consulta de dermatología con cuadro de 48 horas de evolución de dos placas eritematosas con ampollas centrales más ulceración superficial localizadas en cara flexora de brazo y antebrazo derecho, acompañadas de una sensación de ardor y prurito en el lugar de las lesiones, sin síntomas acompañantes. Como antecedente refiere que se encontraba de vacaciones en la región costera de Ecuador al momento de aparecer las lesiones. Se realizó una biopsia incisional y por las características clínicas y el antecedente de viaje a una región tropical se diagnosticó como dermatitis por Paederus y se indicó tratamiento con antihistamínicos, esteroides tópicos y compresas frías. Después de 8 días de tratamiento, las lesiones remitieron dejando una hiperpigmentación postinflamatoria. A dermatite de contato por Paederus é uma doença de pele causada por besouros do gênero Paederus e pela liberação de uma substância vesicante chamada paederina.

O tratamento baseia-se na lavagem com água e sabão para neutralizar a ação da toxina e na administração de esteroides tópicos em ciclos curtos. Relatamos o caso de um paciente do sexo masculino, 28 anos, que compareceu ao ambulatório de dermatologia com história de duas placas eritematosas com bolhas centrais e ulceração superficial localizadas na face flexora do braço e antebraço direito há 48 horas, acompanhadas de sensação de queimação e coceira no local das lesões, sem sintomas acompanhantes. Como antecedente, afirma que estava de férias na região costeira do Equador quando surgiram os ferimentos. Foi realizada biópsia incisional e pelas características clínicas e histórico de viagem para região tropical foi diagnosticada como dermatite por Paederus e indicado tratamento com anti-histamínicos, esteróides tópicos e compressas frias. Após 8 dias de tratamento, as lesões cederam, deixando hiperpigmentação pós-inflamatória. Universidad Nacional Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas.
