The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae is one of the most economically important ectoparasites in hens and some species of mammals worldwide. Cases of human infestation have been reported worldwide. In this study we report infestation in three members of a family referred with pruritus and allergic dermatitis rash. They have collected very small animals and carried them to the laboratory which later was confirmed as D. gallinae. They claimed that they had been bitten with this ectoparasite. This is the first case report of human infestation owing to D. gallinae from Iran.
禽刺螨（Dermanyssus gallinae）是全球范围内对母鸡和某些哺乳动物种类而言经济影响最为重大的体外寄生虫之一。全球均有人类感染该寄生虫的病例报告。在本研究中，我们报告了一个家庭的三名成员出现瘙痒和过敏性皮炎皮疹并被转诊，他们曾收集过非常小的动物并将其带到实验室，后来证实这些动物为禽刺螨。他们声称被这种体外寄生虫叮咬过。这是伊朗首例关于禽刺螨导致人类感染的病例报告。
