ABSTRACT

En la amazonia peruana existe una gran diversidad de artrópodos relacionados a problemas de salud pública. Dentro de ellos al poco conocido escarabajo de la familia Staphylinidae, del género Paederus, capaz de producir una dermatitis cáustica vesiculante, a todo aquel que entre en contacto con su hemolinfa. Este tipo de lesiones ha sido descrita en aéreas tropicales y subtropicales causando brotes de dermatitis estacionales a lo largo del mundo, como sucedió en el fenómeno climatológico "El Niño" por Paederus irritans (Ciudad de Piura, 1999). Se presenta dos casos de dermatitis por Paederus sp. en zonas rurales de la amazonia peruana, donde aún no se ha reportado casos.


In the peruvian amazon we have a great diversity of arthropods which are related to public health problems. For example, there is an unknown beetle of the family Staphylinidae, genus Paederus, capable of producing a caustic-vesicular dermatitis, to anyone who gets any physical contact with its hemolymph. This type of injury has been described in tropical and subtropical areas, causing epidemic outbreaks of seasonal dermatitis throughout the world; as it happened in the weather phenomenon "El Niño" by Paederus irritans (Ciudad de Piura, 1999). We present two dermatitis cases due to Paederus sp. in rural areas of the peruvian amazon, where no cases have been reported earlier.
