Résumé
Stonefish, known in Japan as "Oni-daruma-okoze" ( We administered retrospective questionnaire surveys between January 2013 and December 2017 to determine patient characteristics, treatment, and clinical outcomes of stonefish envenomation. We compared patient characteristics between tourists and non-tourists. Over the 5-year study period, 15 patients were identified from four hospitals. More than 70% of stonefish envenomation cases occurred in the northern part of Okinawa Main Island. All patients recovered well, including four patients with severe stonefish envenomation. In two severe cases, the length of hospitalization was more than 1 week (8-9 days). Antivenom was not given. There were no significant differences between tourists and non-tourists with regard to baseline characteristics. During a 5-year period, 15 cases of stonefish envenomation occurred in Japan. The patients recovered well without treatment with antivenom.
