Abstract

Untill now occasional cases of jellyfish stings have been reported in Korean literatures but all of the reported patients contracted the stings abroad out of the country. Recently we have found a case of the jellyfish stings first in Korean coastline. The patient was an 11-year-old girl, who got the sting while she was swimming in the southern west coast of the country. The initial skin lesions showed typically whipped appearance and subsided in a month after taking both courses of the immediate toxic reaction and the late allergic reaction. Considering the ecological changes of the sea waters of the Korea, we think the jellyfish stings would occur more frequently also in the country and dermatologists should be familiar with the dermatitis.
