There have been isolated reports in the last 10 years of patients, who had previously been in excellent health, who present with swelling and pain in a peripheral part which is followed by extensive skin loss. It has been presumed that these presentations relate to a creature that has bitten the patient but as yet no creature has been caught in the act of biting; indeed, many patients do not even feel a bite. In view of the rarity of this problem, invariably other diagnoses are considered. This paper describes such a case.
在过去十年间，有个别报告称，先前健康状况良好的患者出现身体外周部位肿胀和疼痛，随后皮肤大面积受损。据推测，这些症状与某种咬伤患者的生物有关，但至今尚未发现正在咬人现场的该生物；实际上，许多患者甚至都没感觉到被咬。鉴于此问题罕见，通常会考虑其他诊断。本文描述了这样一个病例。
