During the month of May 1993, at the end of the rainy season, an outbreak of dermatitis occurred in Brazzaville (Congo). It was caused by Paederus sabaeus, a Staphylinid beetle which invaded the town during three weeks. The patients recovered spontaneously or after topical application of creams. No eye affection was recorded.
