暂无{Abstract}: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) can, in a few reported cases, create an exaggerated mosquito bite response, leading to numerous bullae and significant edema. The phenomenon is further complicated by the observance of a concurrent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation. The current literature provides general information on treatment that most practitioners would consider when attempting to treat an arthropod hypersensitivity reaction, such as topical or systemic corticosteroids. However, no information has been published to date that details a preventive and steroid-sparing approach to treating this phenomenon, without simultaneously treating the MCL. MCL can be indolent in nature and does not always require prompt treatment. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the successful treatment of a rare disorder with a steroid-sparing regimen. The steroid-sparing regimen used consisted of oral doxycycline 100mg twice daily, cetirizine 20mg once daily, and valacyclovir 1g daily, which resulted in sustained reduction in bullous eruptions.
