Infestations and arthropod bite reactions in children are common reasons for presentation to pediatric health care providers. Infestations in children include head lice, scabies, and other mites. Fleas and bed bugs are common causes of bite reactions in children, and papular urticaria is a chronic, recurrent eruption resulting from delayed hypersensitivity to a variety of insect bites. Both infestations and bite reactions may result in severe pruritus with associated sleep disturbance and can be a source of significant distress for patients and families. In this review, we discuss infestations and bite reactions affecting pediatric patients, along with the approach to treatment and prevention of these conditions. [Pediatr Ann. 2020;49(3):e124-e131.].
儿童的寄生虫感染和节肢动物叮咬反应是就诊于儿科医疗服务提供者的常见原因。儿童的寄生虫感染包括头虱、疥疮和其他螨虫。跳蚤和臭虫是儿童叮咬反应的常见原因，丘疹性荨麻疹是一种慢性复发性皮疹，由对多种昆虫叮咬的迟发性超敏反应引起。寄生虫感染和叮咬反应都可能导致严重瘙痒并伴有睡眠障碍，并且可能给患者及其家人带来极大困扰。在本综述中，我们讨论了影响儿科患者的寄生虫感染和叮咬反应，以及这些病症的治疗和预防方法。[《儿科年鉴》。2020年；49(3):e124-e131。]
