Abstract

We report the case of an Anthia sexmaculata sexmaculata-associated necrotic burn in a French expatriate in Mauritania. Anthia spp.-related injury is a common though underreported health issue in the Sahelo-Saharan area. Deployed soldiers and travellers should be aware of these beetles when adventuring in this region.
