A Case of Paederus Dermatitis due to paederus fuscipes
Abstract
-
Paederus dermatitis is a linear and self-healing blistering disease of the skin caused by contact with insects belonging to genus Paederus(Coieoptera : Staphylinidae). There have been only a few reports of paederus dermatitis in the southern part of Korea since 1968. We recently experienced a case of paederus dermatitis due to contact by P. fuscipes.
