简介：对与葡萄牙战舰中毒相关的临床和流行病学方面进行了调查和表征。方法：2005 年至 2013 年间记录的中毒事件数据由 GBMar（马拉尼昂州海事消防员小组）和 SEMUSC（具有公民身份的市安全部长）提供。结果：大多数受害者是儿童，临床表现包括剧烈疼痛、水肿、红斑和罕见的全身表现。结论：中毒事件是可预测的，并且基于涉及多种因素（环境和/或人类行为）的模式；然而，最初采取的措施与巴西卫生部目前的建议并不相符。
INTRODUCTION: The clinical and epidemiological aspects associated with Portuguese man-of-war envenomation were investigated and characterized. METHODS: Data from recorded envenomation events between 2005 and 2013 were provided by the GBMar (Group of Firemen Maritime of Maranhão State) and SEMUSC (Municipal Secretary of Security with Citizenship). RESULTS: Most victims were children, and clinical manifestations included intense pain, edema, erythema, and rare systemic manifestations. CONCLUSIONS: The envenomation events were predictable and based on patterns involving multiple factors (environmental and/or human behavior); however, the initially applied measures did not match the current recommendations of the Health Ministry of Brazil.
