Abstract

The case histories of three patients with unusual reactions to jellyfish envenomations or increased amounts of anti-jellyfish serum antibodies are presented. These cases demonstrated the following facts: (1) Allergic reactions may play a significant pathophysiologic role in jellyfish envenomation of humans. (2) Elevated specific anti-jellyfish immunoglobulins may persist for several years. (3) Recurrence of the clinical cutaneous reaction to jellyfish stings may occur within a few weeks without additional contact with the tentacles. (4) It is apparent that serologic cross-reactivity between the sea nettle and the man-of-war occur, as do false-positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) serologic tests to either jellyfish venom.

摘要

本文介绍了三名对水母蜇伤有异常反应或抗水母血清抗体量增加的患者的病历。这些病例表明了以下事实：（1）过敏反应可能在人类水母蜇伤中起重要的病理生理作用。（2）特异性抗水母免疫球蛋白升高可能持续数年。（3）对水母蜇伤的临床皮肤反应可能在几周内复发，而无需再次接触触手。（4）明显的是，海荨麻和僧帽水母之间存在血清学交叉反应，对任何一种水母毒液的酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）血清学检测都会出现假阳性。
