Abstract
- A 28-year-old woman presented with multiple whiplash-like eruptions of 4-days' duration around both ankles, feet, knees, and hands after contact with a jellyfish. Histological examination showed epidermal necrosis with intraepidermal vesicles containing neutrophils and red blood cells, dermal necrotic vasculitis, diffuse dermal infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and beanbag cells, and degeneration of collagen fibers.
