ABSTRACT
A 17-year-old woman was stung by a jellyfish on her right lower leg in waters off the Korean coastline. The lesions presented as erythematous, painful patches and cleared-up within 2 weeks. However, 2 weeks later, erythematous band-like patches and crusts developed at the previous contact site and similar lesions occurred on non-contact areas. Histologic examination revealed hyperkeratosis, focal spongiosis in the epidermis and perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, with numerous eosinophils in the upper dermis. We report a case of jellyfish dermatitis which showed immediate toxic reaction and delayed cutaneous reaction following a jellyfish sting from a species present in Korea.
