A ocorrência de acidentes por animais marinhos no mundo é relatada no meio científico de maneira esporádica e sem sequência. Os principais animais causadores dos acidentes e as características clínicas só recentemente vêm recebendo maior atenção por parte dos médicos e dos biólogos, o que resulta numa maior possibilidade de se estabelecerem medidas terapêuticas e preventivas efectivas para o problema. Este facto ocorre nos Açores e, de resto, em Portugal continental bem como por toda a Europa. Este projecto pretende relacionar os principais animais marinhos potencialmente perigosos do Arquipélago dos Açores, sem pretender avaliar a incidência dos acidentes. Agravos com este perfil são causados principalmente pelos cnidários, pelos equinodermes e por alguns peixes peçonhentos e traumatizantes, facto observado de forma cosmopolita. No único estudo realizado de maneira quantitativa sobre acidentes por animais marinhos peçonhentos e traumatizantes, efectuado em Ubatuba, no litoral Sudeste do Brasil, foram atendidos cerca de 600 pacientes vitimados principalmente por ouriços-do-mar (50 %), cnidários (25%) e peixes venenosos de várias espécies (25%).
ABSTRACT: The world occurrence of accidents with marine animals is reported sporadically by science and, normally with no practical consequences. Only recently the main animals that do cause accidents, together with the clinical caractheristics, are calling the attention of both biologists and physicians, which results in significant improvements regarding terapeutics and prevention measures. This is happening in the Azores, but also in other parts of Portugal and, of course, Europe. This Project aims to describe the main marine animals from the Azores that are pottentially dangerous. It does not intend to evaluate the incidence of the accidents themselves. The majority of accidents is caused by Cnidaria, Echinoderms and by some poisonous and/ or injury inflicting fish. The scenario follows a cosmopolitan pattern. In the only so far published quantitative study made on this subject made in Ubatuba, SE Brazil, some 600 patients were attended, mainly injured by seaurchins (50 %), cnidaria (25%) and poisonous fish from several species (25%).
