Abstract
Objective — to conduct the review of literary data of mites, the most significant in medical terms, and to present clinical cases of own observations from practice of dermatological diseases which are caused by acariformes mites. Materials and methods. Under our supervision during 2016—2018 there were 15 persons with complaints about rash with tracks of mites in different parts of body and itch, who were diagnosed with acariasis by collecting history, analyzing clinical manifestations, epidemiological data and laboratory diagnostics. Laboratory research of skin was done on the medical MICМЕD-6 microscope with presentation of the photo of mites on the screen of computer monitor and by means of photofixation with МD-300 camera. The method of preparing of skin was used by means of surgical scalpel with subsequent treatment with 10 % solution of КОН and by microscopy at a small and middle increase (by 10 and 40 times). Results and discussion. According to microscopic imaging data, it can be assumed that 9 people had the mites of the superfamily of Scabby mites (Sarcoptoidea), sort of Psoroptes, of the following kinds: Psoroptes canis — paratizing on dogs; Psoroptes bovis — paratizing on cattle. In 5 patients from rural areas (working with grain), by elements of the rash we suspected affection with Pyеmotes ventricosus mites. One patient (villager) had poultry affected with mites. For treatment of 12 patients we prescribed an antiscabious drug – an agent in an aerosol, which contains esdepalletrin (0.66 %). In 3 patients, benzyl benzoate was used in the form of 20 % emulsion. Dermatites, which occurred on the skin due to mites’ bites, required additional prescription of antihistamines and topical corticosteroid drugs. Conclusions. Taking into account the clinical and epidemiological features of dermatological diseases, which are caused by mites, dermatologists should be able to differentiate the clinical manifestations of these diseases, carry out the necessary studies for suspected acarias, carefully collect anamnesis, with consideration of the domestic life and conditions of work.
