The similarities of the larval and nymph stages of the tick and louse (Pthirus pubis) may lead to misdiagnosis in rare cases of infestation of the eyelashes. The most frequent manifestations of tick in the eye are conjunctivitis, uveitis, keratitis, and vasculitis. Tick inoculation of the skin can locally lead to formation of granuloma and abscess. More concerning is the potential systemic sequelae that can result from transmission of zoonoses such as Lyme disease. P. pubis can cause pruritic eyelid margins or unusual blepharoconjunctivitis. We present a case of phthiriasis palpebrarum in a 4-year-old boy.
蜱虫和阴虱（耻阴虱）幼虫和若虫阶段的相似性可能导致在罕见的睫毛感染病例中出现误诊。蜱虫在眼部最常见的表现是结膜炎、葡萄膜炎、角膜炎和血管炎。蜱虫叮咬皮肤可局部导致肉芽肿和脓肿形成。更令人担忧的是，莱姆病等人畜共患病的传播可能导致潜在的全身后遗症。耻阴虱可引起眼睑边缘瘙痒或不寻常的睑结膜炎。我们报告一例4岁男孩的睑部阴虱病病例。
