Centipede envenomation is usually not life-threatening. They usually present with local symptoms of swelling and pain. Centipede venoms contain large amounts of allergenic proteins that can pose a risk of allergic complications following the bite. Here, we report a rare but important case of systemic anaphylaxis in the form of abdominal pain immediately following a centipede bite that subsided after adrenaline administration. Knowledge of this systemic anaphylaxis is essential for timely management of centipede envenomation.
蜈蚣蜇伤通常不会危及生命。患者通常表现为局部肿胀和疼痛症状。蜈蚣毒液含有大量致敏蛋白，蜇伤后可能引发过敏并发症。在此，我们报告一例罕见但重要的病例，患者在蜈蚣蜇伤后立即出现以腹痛形式表现的全身性过敏反应，注射肾上腺素后症状缓解。了解这种全身性过敏反应对于及时处理蜈蚣蜇伤至关重要。
