Abstract

Envenomation due to exposure to caterpillars is an emerging public health problem. A life-threatening bleeding diathesis has been described in South America after exposure to Lonomia obliqua or L. acheolus. Deforestation, forest degradation, and global warming might increase the frequency of human exposure to these insects. Prompt recognition and administration of antivenom are crucial to ensure a favorable outcome.
秘鲁 Lonomia spp.引起的出血性糜烂 - 行动呼吁。
因接触毛虫而引起的传染病是一个新出现的公共卫生问题。据描述,在南美洲,接触到 Lonomia obliqua 或 L. acheolus 后会出现危及生命的出血综合症。森林砍伐、森林退化和全球变暖可能会增加人类接触这些昆虫的频率。及时发现并注射抗蛇毒血清对确保治疗效果至关重要。
