Abstract

A case with phthiriasis palbebrarum in both eyelashes is presented. A 49-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with itching complaint of both eye lids for 2 months. It has been learned from the patient's anamnesis that various medications have been used for the complaints over the past two months. On the biomicroscopic examination, hyperemia of the lid margin, and several red-brown nits and live lices attached to the lashes were detected. Cleaning with Tea Tree Oil was recommended on the margin of eyelashes three times a day. The control visit revealed that all the lice and nits were completely removed.
