Jellyfish toxins rarely cause granulomatous inflammation. A rare case of a child with granulomatous inflammation from jellyfish contact successfully healed with topical tacrolimus.

Area of Science:

  • Marine toxicology
  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Jellyfish stings typically cause acute urticarial and toxic reactions.
  • Granulomatous inflammation is an uncommon response to jellyfish toxins.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old boy presented with striated urticarial erythema and induration on his cheek after marine contact in Croatia.
  • Histopathology confirmed granulomatous inflammation with eosinophils.

Findings:

  • Standard anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatments were ineffective.
  • Topical tacrolimus 0.1% achieved complete healing within two two-week treatment cycles.
  • No recurrence was observed during a 5-month follow-up period.

Implications:

  • This case highlights tacrolimus as a potential treatment for rare granulomatous reactions to jellyfish toxins.
  • It expands the understanding of dermatological responses to marine envenomation.
  • Further research may explore the immunomodulatory effects of tacrolimus in similar conditions.
