The usual methods of diagnosis remove Sarcoptes scabiei from its habitat. Thus, one has no appreciation of the host-endoparasitic interaction, especially the pathologic response of the surrounding tissue and the means by which the mite survives and lives its life cycle in the skin. The biopsy specimen described in this article demonstrates the tissue reaction that can be correlated with clinical symptoms. It also clearly depicts the actual position, morphological features, and developmental cycle of the mite in the skin.
通常的诊断方法会将疥螨从其栖息地移除。因此，人们无法了解宿主与体内寄生虫的相互作用，尤其是周围组织的病理反应以及螨虫在皮肤中生存和完成其生命周期的方式。本文所述的活检标本展示了可与临床症状相关联的组织反应。它还清晰地描绘了螨虫在皮肤中的实际位置、形态特征和发育周期。
