Bedbugs--hematophagous parasitic arthropods of the genus Cimex--have been unwelcome bedfellows for humans for thousands of years. With increases in population density, ease of travel, and insecticide resistance, bedbugs have reemerged. As a result, physicians are often at the forefront in the diagnosis and treatment of bedbug infestation. This review summarizes the biology and epidemiology of bedbugs and provides details on the diagnosis and treatment of bedbug infestation.
臭虫——半翅目臭虫科的吸血寄生性节肢动物——几千年来一直是人类不速之客。随着人口密度的增加、旅行的便利和杀虫剂耐药性的出现，臭虫再次出现。因此，医生通常处于诊断和治疗臭虫感染的前沿。本文综述了臭虫的生物学和流行病学，并详细介绍了臭虫感染的诊断和治疗。
