Bedbugs are a known household scourge that also have become an increasing problem in the corporate space. These pests have adapted to the office environment, finding new harborages in which to thrive and devising new ways to obtain blood meals during the day. Bedbugs pose a considerable public health problem, and managing the epidemic will require vigilance by health care professionals as well as patient education on prevention. We present the case of a 42-year-old man with treatment-refractory pruritic papules over the bilateral posterior arms that were attributed to a bedbug infestation at his workplace.
臭虫是一种众所周知的家庭害虫,在企业环境中也日益成为一个问题。这些害虫已经适应了办公环境,找到了新的栖息地来繁衍生息,并想出了在白天获取血餐的新方法。臭虫构成了一个相当严重的公共卫生问题,控制这种流行病需要医护人员保持警惕以及对患者进行预防教育。我们报告一例42岁男性病例,其双侧上臂出现难治性瘙痒性丘疹,病因是其工作场所臭虫滋生。
