We report a case of envenomation by Dendrobates tinctorius in the northwest of the Amazon Forest. The patients were two men, who presented with numbness in the right arm and slight numbness in the lower lip, respectively. Dendrobates tinctorius secretions contain pumiliotoxin, one of several toxins found in the dendrobatidis skin, which interferes with muscle contraction and causes locomotor difficulties. Although Dendrobatidae is a family of anurans known for their venom, few studies describe the symptoms of envenomation in humans.
我们报告了一起亚马逊森林西北部的哥伦比亚金色箭毒蛙（Dendrobates tinctorius）咬伤的病例。这两名患者分别出现右手麻木和下唇轻微麻木的症状。哥伦比亚金色箭毒蛙的分泌物中含有蓬毒素，这是几种存在于箭毒蛙皮肤中的毒素之一，它会干扰肌肉收缩并导致运动障碍。尽管蟾科是一种以毒液而闻名的蛙类，但很少有研究描述人类中毒的症状。
