A 3-year-old child experienced edema of the face and extremities approximately 2 weeks after being stung on the legs, scrotum, and penis by "fire ants" (Solenopsis invicta). After diagnosis of idiopathic minimal-change nephrotic syndrome and treatment with steroids, the edema rapidly disappeared. Follow-up 3 years after his hospitalization showed no recurrence of nephrotic syndrome. We have correlated this case with previously published reports of the causal relationship of allergy to nephrotic syndrome, but we are unaware of any previously published correlation between ant bite and nephrotic syndrome.
一名3岁儿童在腿部、阴囊和阴茎被“火蚁”（红火蚁）蜇伤约2周后出现面部和四肢水肿。在被诊断为特发性微小病变型肾病综合征并接受类固醇治疗后，水肿迅速消退。他住院3年后的随访显示肾病综合征未复发。我们将该病例与先前发表的关于过敏与肾病综合征因果关系的报告进行了关联，但我们不知道之前有任何关于蚂蚁叮咬与肾病综合征之间关联的报道。
