Abstract

Scabies is an itchy skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis , an obligate human parasite . Scabies, one of the most pruritic dermatoses worldwide, is a clinical condition characterized by polymorphic rash and superinfections, as well as intense irritation, especially at night. It is estimated that there are about 300 million cases worldwide annually. There may be diagnostic difficulties due to the complexity in detecting the agent and the atypical clinical presentation. In our case, a 3 years 9 months old female patient was admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of severe itching and rash all day in her body for 2 months. The patient, whose medical history was taken and examined, was diagnosed with scabies and treated. Considering this case report, we aimed to draw attention to the common but frequently overlooked scabies in the light of other case reports and scientific research.

Özet

Uyuz, zorunlu insan paraziti olan Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis 'in neden olduğu kaşıntılı bir deri hastalığıdır. Tüm dünyada yaygın görülen en kaşıntılı dermatozlardan olan uyuz, özellikle geceleri şiddetlenen kaşıntı yanında polimorfik döküntü ve süperenfeksiyonlarla karakterize bir klinik tablodur. Dünya çapında yıllık yaklaşık 300 milyon vaka olduğu tahmin edilmektedir. Etkenin saptanmasındaki zorluktan ve atipik klinik prezentasyondan kaynaklanan tanı güçlükleri olabilmektedir. Olgumuzda 3 yaş 9 aylık kadın hasta yaklaşık 2 aydır tüm vücutta, gece ve gündüz olan şiddetli kaşıntı ve döküntü şikâyeti ile polikliniğimize başvurdu. Öyküsü alınan ve muayene edilen hastaya uyuz hastalığı tanısı konuldu ve tedavisi verildi. Bu olgudan yola çıkarak, diğer olgu serileri ve bilimsel araştırmalar ışığında, sık karşılaşılan ancak sık atlanan uyuz hastalığına dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık.
