Scabies is clearly the primary medical problem involving mites. However, regionally, there is a broad variety of other dermatoses associated with mite exposure, which in some areas vastly exceed the incidence of scabies. Also, scabies is characterized by a cyclical occurrence that is unusual in other mite infestations and mite-associated dermatoses. Many of these have seasonal or regional characteristics, which will be discussed. The clinical aspects of mite infestation will primarily be dealt with, and the basic anatomy and biology of the mites will be ignored.
疥疮显然是涉及螨虫的主要医学问题。然而,在局部地区,还有多种与接触螨虫相关的其他皮肤病,在某些地区,这些皮肤病的发病率大大超过疥疮。此外,疥疮具有周期性发作的特点,这在其他螨虫感染和与螨虫相关的皮肤病中并不常见。其中许多具有季节性或区域性特征,将予以讨论。本文将主要探讨螨虫感染的临床方面,而忽略螨虫的基本解剖结构和生物学特性。
