In this report, we stress that Paederus dermatitis may be a common dermatosis in other regions with similar climates in Turkey and should be considered in differential diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis, impetigo, herpes zoster, etc.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Background and OBJECTIVE: Paederus dermatitis is a self-limited skin disorder characterized with lineer and vesicular, bullous and/or pustular lesions on erythematous bases caused by Paederus species belonging to Staphlinidae (Coleoptera) family.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The lesions which are seen in warm and moist climates especially in summer months occur within 24 hours after the crushing of the beetle over the skin and heal with slight hyperpigmentation within 7-8 days.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:In this report, we stress that Paederus dermatitis may be a common dermatosis in other regions with similar climates in Turkey and should be considered in differential diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis, impetigo, herpes zoster, etc.

Abstract

Background and OBJECTIVE: Paederus dermatitis is a self-limited skin disorder characterized with lineer and vesicular, bullous and/or pustular lesions on erythematous bases caused by Paederus species belonging to Staphlinidae (Coleoptera) family. The lesions which are seen in warm and moist climates especially in summer months occur within 24 hours after the crushing of the beetle over the skin and heal with slight hyperpigmentation within 7-8 days. In our study we aimed to evaluate the history and clinical features of cases with Paederus dermatitis. MATERIALS-METHODS: Sixteen patients (9 female, 7 male, mean age: 31.75 ± 15.72) were diagnosed as Paederus dermatitis on history and clinical findings. Detailed history and clinical features of the patients were recorded. RESULTS: Most of the patients live in central part of Denizli and have a history of spending time in a garden or on a balcony. Mostly painfull lesions were commonly located on the neck and V region of the neck, upper arm, shoulder and scapular regions with lineer or nummular pattern. CONCLUSION: The cases from Çukurova and Aydın region have been reported previously. In this report, we stress that Paederus dermatitis may be a common dermatosis in other regions with similar climates in Turkey and should be considered in differential diagnosis of phytophotodermatitis, impetigo, herpes zoster, etc.

Özet

AMAÇ: Çalışmamızda, Paederus dermatitli olguların dermatolojik öykülerinin ve klinik bulgularının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. GEREÇ-YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya öykü ve klinik muayene ile Paederus dermatiti tanısı alan yaş ortalamaları 31.75 ± 15.72 olan 9 kadın, 7 erkek toplam 16 olgu dahil edildi. Sonuçlar ve YORUM: Çoğu Temmuz ayında başvuran hastaların hepsi Denizli il merkezinde yaşamaktaydı ve son 1 hafta içinde bahçeli bir yere gitme veya balkonda zaman geçirme öyküsü mevcuttu. En sık boyun ve boyun V bölgesi olmak üzere üst ekstremite, omuz ve skapuler bölgede yerleşen eritemli zeminde veziküler-büllöz ve/veya püstüler morfolojide, sıklıkla ağrı-acıya neden olan çizgisel veya madeni para şeklinde lezyonlar gözlendi. Çukurova ve Aydın çevresinden epidemileri bildirilen bu dermatitin özellikle sıcak ve nemli yaz aylarında ilimizde de görüldüğünü, ülkemizde benzer iklime sahip diğer yörelerde belki de sık görülen, ancak ayırıcı tanıya giren fitofotodermatit, impetigo ve herpes zoster vb dermatozlarla karıştırıldığını, dolayısıyla ayırıcı tanıda göz önüne alınması gerektiğini vurgulamak istedik.
