Recurrent cutaneous jellyfish eruptions without envenomation.

T Månsson, H W Randle, R M Mandojana

    Acta Dermato-Venereologica
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Recurrent jellyfish stings can cause delayed skin eruptions days after initial contact. These secondary reactions, potentially widespread, may be more severe than the primary jellyfish-induced lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Marine Biology
    • Dermatology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Jellyfish stings are common marine exposures.
    • Cutaneous reactions to cnidarian envenomation are well-documented.

    Observation:

    • Three patients presented with delayed, recurrent cutaneous eruptions after jellyfish tentacle contact.
    • These eruptions appeared days post-initial exposure without further contact.
    • Involved species included Pelagia noctiluca, Physalia physalis, and Lychnorhiza lucerna.

    Findings:

    • The phenomenon of recurrent eruptions after jellyfish stings appears widespread.
    • Secondary eruptions were more severe than primary envenomation in two of three cases.
    • Suggests a delayed hypersensitivity or immune response to jellyfish venom components.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for delayed and severe cutaneous reactions to jellyfish stings.
    • Informs clinical management and patient education regarding jellyfish exposure.
    • Warrants further investigation into the immunobiology of jellyfish envenomation.
