N2  - The stingray is one of the most dangerous fishes for man. The sting is poisonous and causes a painful wound. Fatalities are reported. Most injuries due to stingrays occur in coast regions of the tropics and subtropics. Therefore, physicians in countries with a moderate climate are less informed about the management about these kinds of injuries. The characteristics, treatment and prevention are discussed in connection with a case that occurred in Belgium in a devotee of aquarium fishes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
