Abstract

Reactions from stinging insects are significant to dermatologists because of the wide variety of clinical presentations from mild local reaction to severe anaphylactic reaction.
Although ant sting commonly occurs, it has been rarely reported in the literatures.
We experienced a unique case with allergic reactions by the ant of the Cremawgaster iw6w urai vagala, subfamily Myrmicinae, family Formicidea, order Hymenoptera that has not been previously reported.

Keywords: Allergic reactions, Ant stings, Crematogaster matsumurai vagala
