ABSTRACT
Contact between humans and coastal areas has increased in recent decades, which has led to an increase in injuries from aquatic animals. The majority of these present dermatological manifestations, and some of them show typical lesions. The highest percentages of injuries that occur in marine environments are associated with invertebrates such as sea urchins, jellyfish and Portuguese men-of-war (echinoderms and cnidarians). In this review, we discuss the clinical, therapeutic and preventive aspects of injuries caused by marine and freshwater invertebrates, focusing on first aid measures and diagnosis for dermatologists and professionals in coastal areas.
RESUMO
O contato entre a Humanidade e as áreas litorâneas vem aumentando nas últimas décadas e com isso também aumentaram os acidentes por animais aquáticos. A maioria destes apresenta manifestações dermatológicas, sendo algumas bem características. As maiores porcentagens das lesões em ambientes marinhos estão associadas aos invertebrados, como os ouriços-do-mar, águas-vivas e caravelas (equinodermos e cnidários). Nesta revisão, são discutidos os aspectos clínicos, terapêuticos e preventivos de acidentes por invertebrados marinhos e fluviais e ressaltados os primeiros cuidados e os auxílios diagnósticos para os dermatologistas e profissionais das áreas litorâneas.
