Nowadays, dermoscopy is a global worldwide diffuse diagnostic tool supporting clinicians in their daily hard task of correct orientation among dermatological diseases. Born to be an instrument for early diagnosis of skin cancer, the dermatoscope is now considered the dermatologist's stethoscope, as it can be routinely used to support diagnosis in general dermatology, so spreading its utility in cutaneous inflammatory and infectious diseases, as adjuvant and not substitute to histology and potassium hydroxide examination. As concerns the latter, plenty of papers have been published since the first description of dermoscopic findings of scabies. The aim of this review is to give the clinician a practical approach to dermoscopic parameters of cutaneous infectious diseases with a focus on the latest updates in this topic.
如今，皮肤镜检查是一种全球广泛应用的诊断工具，可协助临床医生在日常工作中对各种皮肤病进行准确诊断。皮肤镜最初是作为一种早期诊断皮肤癌的工具，如今已被视为皮肤科医生的听诊器，因为它可常规用于辅助一般皮肤科的诊断，从而在皮肤炎症性和感染性疾病中得到广泛应用，作为组织学和氢氧化钾检查的辅助手段，而非替代方法。关于后者，自首次描述疥疮的皮肤镜表现以来，已有大量相关论文发表。本综述的目的是为临床医生提供一种实用的方法，以了解皮肤感染性疾病的皮肤镜参数，并重点介绍该领域的最新进展。
