The genus Thalassophryne presents various venomous species of fishes found in the Brazilian coast, T. nattereri being the most common of them. The venom is ejected through two hollow spines on the dorsal fin and two on pre-opercular regions, which present a venomous gland in the base and can be erected or depressed by the fish. The manifestations of the envenoming were intense local pain, edema and erythema in 43 patients observed in Salin\u00f3polis (Par\u00e1 State) and Aracaju (Sergipe State). There were no systemic manifestations, but necrosis was detected in eight and bacterial infection in ten injured fishermen. The circumstances of the contacts and therapeutic aspects are discussed. Envenoming by the genus Thalassophryne is important and frequent and should be considered of moderate severity grade, since there are not the excruciating pain or the massive local necrosis provoked by scorpionfishes (Scorpaena) or stingrays injuries nor the systemic manifestations that are the most important marker of severe envenoming.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652003000400009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,27]],"date-time":"2005-04-27T13:31:31Z","timestamp":1114608691000},"page":"221-223","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["The venomous toadfish Thalassophryne nattereri (niquim or miquim): report of 43 injuries provoked in fishermen of Salin\u00f3polis (Par\u00e1 State) and Aracaju (Sergipe State), Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Vidal","family":"Haddad Junior","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil; Instituto Butantan,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro Pereira Oliveira","family":"Pardal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Luiz Costa","family":"Cardoso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1,  Brasil; Universidade de Taubat\u00e9,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Itamar Alves","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade de Taubat\u00e9,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"871","article-title":"Sur un poisson toxiphore br\u00e9silien: \"le niquim\" Thalassophryne maculosa","volume":"3","author":"FR\u00d3ES H.P.","year":"1932","journal-title":"Rev. sud. amer.
