Abstract

The cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula grows in marine and estuarine environments across the world and produces many biologically active compounds. Direct contact with L majuscula and its dermatoxins can cause seaweed dermatitis, which manifests as a papulovesicular eruption. As oceans warm, L majuscula will bloom more frequently; therefore, public awareness of L majuscula and seaweed dermatitis in oceanside communities can help promote precautions that can reduce the risk for exposure. This article describes the irritants that lead to dermatitis, clinical presentation, and prevention and management of seaweed dermatitis.

水生拮抗剂：海藻皮炎（Lyngbya majuscula）。

马氏蓝藻（Lyngbya majuscula）生长在世界各地的海洋和河口环境中，并产生许多具有生物活性的化合物。直接接触马氏藻及其皮毒素可引起海藻皮炎，表现为丘疹性荨麻疹。随着海洋变暖，马氏藻会更频繁地绽放；因此，在海滨社区提高公众对马氏藻和海藻皮炎的认识有助于促进采取预防措施，降低接触风险。本文介绍了导致皮炎的刺激物、临床表现以及海藻皮炎的预防和处理方法。
