| Sumario: | The disordered occupation and the synanthropy of urban environments increase the number of accidents of medical importance caused by arthropods in urban areas. After intense heat and rain, from October 2009 to April 2010 were identified in the city of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 19 cases of dermatitis vesicant, with observation of correlation between the clinical histories, epidemiological and evolutionary clinical-morphological aspects of the dermatosis by pederin. Two beetles, identified at the Federal University of Viçosa, as Paederus sp. were collected during this period although not correlated to the occurrences. This case report aims to show the presence of the vesicant dermatitis, its clinical and therapeutic implications for human health and record the atypical occurrence of blistering agent in Viçosa, contributing with epidemiological and clinical aspects to the development of dermatosis research work in the region. |
