PURPOSE
To describe a case of eosinophilic fasciitis likely related to proximate fire ant bites and review the literature to summarize the etiology and clinical, laboratory, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects of eosinophilic fasciitis.
METHODS
Report of a case of eosinophilic fasciitis and review of the English language literature using a Medline search from 1950 to January 2007.
RESULTS
We describe the case of a New Orleans woman who developed eosinophilic fasciitis after fire ant bites post-Hurricane Katrina. A careful literature review confirms an association of eosinophilic fasciitis with unaccustomed vigorous exercise, arthropod bites, and borreliosis, among other etiologic agents.
CONCLUSIONS
Eosinophilic fasciitis, a rare disorder with unclear pathogenic mechanisms, has been associated with arthropod bites and borreliosis. Fire ant bites should be added to the list of etiologic agents for this disorder.
目的
描述一例可能与近期火蚁叮咬有关的嗜酸性筋膜炎病例，并回顾文献以总结嗜酸性筋膜炎的病因、临床、实验室、组织病理学及治疗方面的情况。
方法
报告一例嗜酸性筋膜炎病例，并使用1950年至2007年1月的Medline搜索对英文文献进行回顾。
结果
我们描述了一名新奥尔良女性在卡特里娜飓风后被火蚁叮咬后发生嗜酸性筋膜炎的病例。仔细的文献回顾证实嗜酸性筋膜炎与不习惯的剧烈运动、节肢动物叮咬及莱姆病等其他病因有关。
结论
嗜酸性筋膜炎是一种发病机制不明的罕见疾病，已被证实与节肢动物叮咬及莱姆病有关。火蚁叮咬应被列入该疾病的病因清单。
