“…Three different kinds are categorized to belong to the same sub-tribe Paederina which may cause dermatitis Paederus namely: Paederus, Paederidus and Megalopaederus. The geographical distribution of these insects is global, with a variable distribution by continents [7]. Most often, the action of crushing the insect on the skin leaves linear trace on the area affected by the exuded pederin so that the lesion will often have a linear appearance, hence the name "linear dermatitis."…”

The dermatitis Paederus is a dermatitis contact caused by caustic and vesicant activity of pederin. It occurs after skin contact with beetles Paederus kind belonging to the family Staphylinidae. The geographical distribution of these insects is global. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical evidence and the epidemiological context. We report below six cases of pederose to Paederus occurred among the Moroccan Level II hospital staff in Bunia deployed in the framework UN peacekeeping operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo(MONUSCO).

“…Our patients have been cured with corticosteroids applied locally with antihistamines, associated in two cases with antibiotic therapy. The authors assume that antibiotics are useful because of the possible contamination of the skin by bacteria producing pédérine [7,9,10].…”

“…Ces insectes prolifèrent en période humide et chaude en fin de saison des pluies, et sont particulièrement présents au coucher du soleil, attirés par les lumières artificielles. Néanmoins 4 cas ont été décrits en France en hiver (5), le contact avec l'insecte s'étant fait après manipulation de textile. Il s'agissait de cas autochtones de patientes habitant en Provence, les insectes étaient retrouvés l'hiver à l'intérieur des maisons chauffées, dans le linge.…”

This irritant blister dermatitis is caused by the genus Paederus whose geographical distribution is worldwide, with a higher incidence in tropical areas. It is induced by direct skin contact with pederin, a blistering and caustic substance found in the abdomen (coelome) of Paederus insects (insect order Coleoptera: family Staphylinidae). The diagnosis is based on the presence of typical clinical features combined with compatible epidemiological features. Our goal is to describe the epidemiological and clinical features of this irritant contact dermatitis in Cameroon through a retrospective study conducted at the end of the rainy season at the Oku Hospital in Northwest Cameroon and to also include cases reported at the medical center of the French Embassy in Yaounde during this same timeframe. In addition, we conducted a literature review of paederus dermatitis. Nineteen patients were included in this study. More than half of the patients presented with more than two lesions predominantly localized to the face or the neck; less than half had complications manifesting as either localized or respiratory reactions and three patients presented periorbital involvement. This study confirms the presence of paederus dermatitis in Cameroon. It is mainly localized in the unusual geoclimatic region of the western high mountains within the country, as well as the usual warm, moist areas of Yaounde. The clinical evolution of this dermatitis is usually one of spontaneous and uneventful resolution with complications being rare. Curative treatment is one of localized topical therapies while oral antibiotic therapy should be reserved for more complicated cases.
