There is upcoming evidence that dermoscopy facilitates the in vivo diagnosis of skin infections and infestations. As such, dermoscopy connects the research fields of dermatologists and entomologists, opening a new research field of 'entodermoscopy'.
To provide an overview on the current applications of entodermoscopy.
Systematic review of the English- and German-language literature by searches of Medline, Medscape and abstracts of the 1st World Congress of the International Dermoscopy Society.
Dermoscopic patterns have been described for viral warts, molluscum contagiosum, scabies, pediculosis, tinea nigra, tungiasis, cutaneous larva migrans, ticks and reactions to spider leg spines. Besides the diagnostic role of dermoscopy, there is increasing evidence that it can also assist in the monitoring of treatment efficacy for some of these conditions.
Although most of the current available literature is based on single observations and small case studies rather than controlled trials, an increasing interest in this field can be observed.
有新证据表明，皮肤镜有助于皮肤感染和寄生虫感染的活体诊断。因此，皮肤镜将皮肤科医生和昆虫学家的研究领域联系起来，开创了一个新的“昆虫皮肤镜检查”研究领域。
综述昆虫皮肤镜检查的当前应用情况。
通过检索Medline、Medscape以及第一届国际皮肤镜协会世界大会的摘要，对英语和德语文献进行系统评价。
已描述了病毒性疣、传染性软疣、疥疮、虱病、黑癣、潜蚤病、皮肤幼虫移行症、蜱虫以及蜘蛛腿刺反应的皮肤镜特征。除了皮肤镜的诊断作用外，越来越多的证据表明，它还可协助监测其中一些疾病的治疗效果。
尽管目前大多数现有文献基于单一观察和小型病例研究而非对照试验，但该领域的关注度正在不断提高。
