Abstract

Lice of the family pediculidae are obligatory parasites, which are accompanying the human kind during its entire evolution. We present the case of two patients, who visited our hospital with multiple bites. The physical examination of the patients did not reveal any ticks however, the more in depth inspection of the pubic area, where the pruritus was intense, revealed the presence of 1-1.5 mm long insects, which were diagnosed by the parasitologists as belonging to the pubic louse P. pubis. The patients and their families were treated with 5% permethrin and were free of lice and symptoms within two weeks.

Özet

Bitler zorunlu parazit olup tüm evrim dönemlerini konak üzerinde geçirirler. İki olgu kasık bitinin halk arasında tam olarak tanınmaması nedeniyle korunma yolları konusunda eksik bilgilerin olduğuna dikkat çekmek amacıyla sunulmuştur. Olguların her ikisi de kene enfestasyonunun yaygın olduğu yaz aylarında, kene ısırığı ve vücutta çok sayıda kene bulunduğu şikayetiyle devlet hastanesine başvurdu. Hastaların yapılan muayenesinde kene enfestasyonuna rastlanılmadı fakat kaşıntı ve ağrıların olduğu lezyonlu bölgelerde 1-1.5mm boyutunda hareketli canlılar tespit edildi ve 5-6 tane çıkartılıp cam tüplere konularak parazitoloji laboratuvarına gönderildi. Parazitolojik incelemde kasık biti tanısı konulması üzerine hastalara konu ile ilgili sağlık eğitimi verildi ve hastalar aileleri ile birlikte iki hafta süren %5’lik permetrin tedavisi sonrası kontrole çağrıldı.
