ABSTRACT

La escombroidosis es una causa frecuente de intoxicación alimentaria a nivel mundial que se debe a la ingesta de pescado azul contaminado con bacterias que inducen la formación de grandes cantidades de histamina. Clínicamente se manifiesta sobre todo a nivel cutáneo, en forma de flushing descendente y/o rash eritemato-urticariforme facial y en el tronco superior. Aunque habitualmente tiene un curso autolimitado y benigno, pueden existir casos de compromiso vascular, broncoespasmo y arritmias. Es importante hacer un correcto diagnóstico diferencial, entre otros con la alergia al pescado. El tratamiento se basa en la administración de antihistamínicos orales. Lo más importante es su prevención mediante una correcta refrigeración del pescado. Este trabajo es una revisión práctica de la escombroidosis orientada para su uso por el dermatólogo


Scombroid poisoning is a common cause of food poisoning worldwide. It is caused by ingestion of oily fish contaminated with bacteria that trigger the formation of high concentrations of histamine. Scombroid poisoning manifests mainly as a skin complaint (flushing that spreads downward and/or an erythematous urticarial rash affecting the face and upper trunk). Although the clinical course is usually self-limiting and benign, vascular compromise, bronchospasm, and arrhythmias have been described. It is important to establish a differential diagnosis that includes conditions such as fish allergy. Oral antihistamines are the mainstay of treatment. Scombroid poisoning is best prevented by refrigerating fish properly. The practical review of scombroid poisoning provided here is intended for dermatologists
