Abstract

Scabies is a pruritic dermatosis caused by the ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. The diagnosis of scabies is usually made on clinicalgrounds, but histopathological and/or dermoscopic examinations may sometimes be of assistance. However, these diagnostic modalities donot offer a detailed in vivo demonstration of the motile microorganism. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a relatively novel imagingmodality that permits in vivo examination of the skin at a resolution similar to that used during similar to histopathologic resolution. Here,a patient with crusted scabies is presented in whom a brief section of the lifecycle of S. scabiei was captured by RCM. Using this advancedimaging modality, the ectoparasite’s motion within the human host can be examined for clinical or research purposes and the mite’s viabilitymay be assessed to monitor the response to treatment.

Özet

Uyuz, Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis ektoparazitinin etken olduğu kaşıntılı bir dermatozdur. Uyuz tanısı genellikle klinik olarak konulmaktadır; histopatolojik ve/veya dermoskopik inceleme tanıya yardımcı olabilir, ancak bu iki tanı yöntemi de, hareketli mikroorganizmanın in vivo olarak detaylı gösterilmesine olanak sağlamamaktadır. Reflektans konfokal mikroskopi (RKM), derinin histopatolojik incelemeye yakın bir çözünür- lükte in vivo olarak incelenmesine imkân sağlayan, görece yeni bir görüntüleme yöntemidir. Burada, RKM ile Sarcoptes scabiei’nin yaşam siklusundan kısa bir kesitin kaydedildiği bir krutlu uyuz hastası sunulmaktadır. Bu gelişmiş görüntüleme yöntemi kullanılarak, ektoparazitin konağı olan insandaki hareketi klinik uygulamalar veya araştırma amacıyla incelenebilir ve akarın canlılığı, tedavi yanıtını takip etmek için değerlendirilebilir.
