Clinical aspects of centipede bite as seen in the Andamans are reported. Centipede bite produces excruciating local pain and burning. Local bleeding is common but transient. Occasionally local infection or necrosis develops. Constitutional upset occurs in a small minority. Centipede bites are never fatal and pain-relief is the cornerstone of treatment.
本文报道了在安达曼群岛观察到的蜈蚣叮咬的临床情况。蜈蚣叮咬会产生剧痛和烧灼感。局部出血很常见但为一过性。偶尔会出现局部感染或坏死。少数人会出现全身不适。蜈蚣叮咬绝不会致命，缓解疼痛是治疗的关键。
