线状皮炎概述

A REVIEW ON THE STUDY OF DERMATITIS LINEARIS

线状皮炎的名称由Asahi(1917)提出,国内一般以隐翅虫皮炎或毒隐翅虫皮炎相称,国外有不少异名。能引起本病的毒隐翅虫全世界已记载20种。成虫因夜晚灯光的引诱与人接触,当虫在人皮肤上有意无意被压碎,含强烈接触毒物的血淋巴溢出,于是致病。症状可分轻、中、重三型。该病流行的地理区域包括大多数热带地区以及欧亚大陆向北扩展、南美向南推移的亚热带地区。不过,流行可通过简易预防措施减轻。

The name dermatitis linearis coined by Asahi(1917)is usually called Staphylinid-beetle dermatitis, or paederus dermatitis in China, but it has some synonyms in other countries and regions. There are 20 species of paederus capable of causing dermatitis linearis having described in the world. Hemolymph is released When the adult insects inadvertently come into contact with humans by attraction of light at night and are crushed on human skin (deliberately or by accident,). This hemolymph contains a Potent contact toxin that causes dermatitis, linearis in humans. The symptoms of dermatitis linearis in rating cases is distinguished into mild, moderate, or severe ones. The geographical range of dermatitis linearis ePidemics includes, actually or potentially, most of the tropics and subtropics, with extension northward in Eurasia and southward in South America. However, the epidemics can be mitigated by simple precautions.
