BACKGROUND
Ant sting reactions are becoming an increasing problem in tropical countries. It is important for physicians to be aware of their possible cutaneous and systemic manifestations.
METHODS
A child with a severe allergic reaction to an ant sting was examined and is discussed. This is the first case described in the literature caused by the ant Odontomachus bauri, and the biology of the ant and the clinical signs in the patient are described.
RESULTS
A child developed a strong allergic reaction to an ant sting. The case was not associated with a previous ant sting. Treatment with the systemic antihistamine loratadine (Clarityn) was favorable in this patient.
CONCLUSIONS
In tropical areas, ant stings are usually benign, self-limited pathologic processes. In some cases, however, severe allergic reactions can develop, including urticaria and anaphylactic shock. Physicians should be aware of the possible complications of ant stings.
背景
在热带国家，蚂蚁叮咬反应正成为一个日益严重的问题。医生了解其可能的皮肤和全身表现很重要。
方法
对一名因蚂蚁叮咬而发生严重过敏反应的儿童进行了检查并展开讨论。这是文献中描述的首例由巴氏猛蚁叮咬引起的病例，文中描述了该蚂蚁的生物学特性以及患者的临床症状。
结果
一名儿童对蚂蚁叮咬产生强烈过敏反应。该病例之前未被蚂蚁叮咬过。全身性抗组胺药氯雷他定（开瑞坦）治疗该患者效果良好。
结论
在热带地区，蚂蚁叮咬通常是良性的、自限性病理过程。然而，在某些情况下，可能会发生严重过敏反应，包括荨麻疹和过敏性休克。医生应了解蚂蚁叮咬可能引发的并发症。
