| description | Demodex mite is a compulsory human ecto-parasite situated in or near pilo-sebase units. Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are two species found in humans. In this case; there were long-term complaints of severe pruritus (six months), and common erythematous papules on the body. Other physical examination findings, complete blood count, biochemistry, sedimentation and C-reactive protein levels were normal. However, Demodex spp. was detected in standard superficial skin biopsy taken from the patients skin. Demodex should be considered prediagnosis for unexplained and continued pruritus complaints and maculopapular lesions. [Med-Science 2019; 8(1.000): 242-4] |
