Kenya is one of the British Army's main training areas outside of the UK and the flora and fauna present the physicians with several challenges. A 22 year old infantry soldier presented with a vesicular, linear painful rash across his chest caused by the chemical excreted from the Staphylinid or rove beetle, known locally as the Nairobi fly. Treatment included topical antibiotic and steroid creams to good effect. This report highlights the recognition, treatment and complications of the Nairobi Fly.
肯尼亚是英国军队在英国境外的主要训练地区之一,当地的动植物给医生带来了诸多挑战。一名22岁的步兵士兵胸部出现了由隐翅虫(当地称为内罗毕苍蝇)分泌的化学物质引起的水疱状、呈线状的疼痛皮疹。治疗包括使用局部抗生素和类固醇乳膏,效果良好。本报告重点介绍了内罗毕苍蝇蜇伤的识别、治疗及并发症。
