LOPEZ-JUAN, Jaime Alejandro; RICOTE-BELINCHON, Mercedes; MARTIN-JIMENEZ, Victoria  e  FELIZARDO-DE GOUVEIA, María. Insect-reactive superficial lymphangitis: a walk through the lymphatic pathway. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.1, pp.61-62.  Epub 17-Abr-2023. ISSN 2386-8201.  https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160111.

Acute superficial lymphangitis after insect bite is an entity little reported in the literature. This is characterized by an inflammation of the lymphatic ducts due to toxins inoculated by the insect. It presents as an oval erythematous lesion in the bite area, which extends in a linear manner along the path of a lymphatic vessel. Diagnosis is clinical and treatment is symptomatic. It is important to rule out the infectious etiology that can be confused with this pathology and be very serious.

We report the case of a 69-year-old patient with no relevant personal history of interest or known allergies, who came to the clinic with an erythematous, linear and pruritic lesion that, based on the history and examination, could correspond to acute insect-reactive lymphangitis.
