Zosteriform Skin Lesions Due to Sea Urchin Allergy - A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several allergic manifestations due to sea urchins are reported in the literature. Allergy due to consumption of gonads (roe) of sea urchins in some people is well known. Accidental stepping on this spiny creature, near the shallow rocky places of the sea which is its habitat, causing allergy has been reported. Workers employed in the roe production units, fishermen and scuba divers are at special risk. Researchers working on sea urchins are no exception as evidenced by this report. A new allergic manifestation i.e. zosteriform skin eruptions due to sea urchin Stomopneustes variolaris is described. The need to differentiate from other serious zosteriform lesions is emphasized. The role of epidemiological history in the diagnosis of a zosteriform rash is stressed.
