TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Envenoming caused by a Portuguese man-o'-war (Physalia physalis) manifesting as purpuric papules JO - Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia A1 - Risk, José Yamin A1 - Cardoso, João Luiz Costa A1 - Haddad, Vidal SP - 644 EP - 645 VL - 87 IS - 4 N2 - We report the case of a 42-year old woman who was envenomed by a Portuguese man-o'-war (Physalia physalis). She presented an anomalous reaction manifested by purpuric papules that appeared after the initial phase of envenoming (around 24 hours later), when linear erythematous and edematous papules were observed. Late-onset reactions in accidents involving cnidarians commonly include chronic eruptions and local pigmentation.
