The case history of a patient who developed a linear erythematous eruption on the ankle after envenomation by Stomolophous meleagris is described. This eruption subsided within 20 hr and recurred without subsequent envenomation 7 days later. The recurrent eruption was similar in morphology to the original lesion, but was accompanied by stiffness and edema. Examination of biopsied skin from the recurrent eruption showed a perivascular mononuclear cell dermal infiltrate. No abnormal deposits of immune globulins or complement were found in this specimen. The patient's serum contained antibodies to Stomolophous antigen and two other jellyfish. Two screening tests of lymphocyte function were negative upon exposure to Stomolophous antigen. This was the first reported case of recurrent local eruption to a single human envenomation by this coelenterate, which usually is regarded as relatively harmless to man.
描述了一名患者的病史，该患者被黄斑海蜇蜇伤后脚踝出现线状红斑疹。此皮疹在20小时内消退，7天后在无后续蜇伤的情况下复发。复发性皮疹在形态上与原始病变相似，但伴有僵硬和水肿。对复发性皮疹活检的皮肤检查显示血管周围单核细胞真皮浸润。在该标本中未发现免疫球蛋白或补体的异常沉积。患者血清中含有针对黄斑海蜇抗原和另外两种水母的抗体。两项淋巴细胞功能筛查试验在接触黄斑海蜇抗原后呈阴性。这是首次报道的由这种通常被认为对人类相对无害的腔肠动物单次蜇伤人类后出现复发性局部皮疹的病例。
