Vascular insufficiency in the extremities following jellyfish-sting envenomation in Malaysia

Delayed-onset arterial vasospasm can complicate paediatric jellyfish stings, particularly in the upper limb. Early recognition of evolving ischemic signs and timely initiation of iloprost with structured tapering may avert tissue loss. Broader drug availability and standardized treatment algorithms are needed to optimize outcomes in resource-limited coastal settings.

Abstract

Delayed-onset arterial vasospasm can complicate paediatric jellyfish stings, particularly in the upper limb. Early recognition of evolving ischemic signs and timely initiation of iloprost with structured tapering may avert tissue loss. Broader drug availability and standardized treatment algorithms are needed to optimize outcomes in resource-limited coastal settings.
