According to the exposure, the clinical condition may progress to moderate and severe lesions such as ulcers and blisters. We describe a case of a male child from the Andean region in Colombia, an area with daily temperatures between 15° and 30° C and 72% average humidity.

Describimos el caso de un paciente pediátrico de sexo masculino de la región andina de Colombia, con temperaturas diarias que oscilan entre 15° y 30°C y una humedad promedio de 72 %, quien accidentalmente pisó un milpiés, lo cual fue un desafío diagnóstico entre el personal de salud que generó su atención.Colegio Médico del Perú2022-08-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/230710.35663/amp.2022.392.2307ACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol 39 No 2 (2022): April - JuneACTA MEDICA PERUANA; Vol. 39 Núm. 2 (2022): Abril - Junio1728-59171018-8800reponame:Acta Médica Peruanainstname:Colegio Médico del Perúinstacron:CMPenghttps://amp.cmp.org.pe/index.php/AMP/article/view/2307/1455Copyright (c) 2022 ACTA MEDICA PERUANAinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/23072023-07-06T05:49:28Z |
