Mite Bites and Tick Dermatoses

  • Chapter
European Handbook of Dermatological Treatments

Abstract

Mite (Acari) bites are frequently often misdiagnosed accidents especially in persons exposed to the biotopes where these arthropods live. Aetiologic diagnosis is not always easy but clinical aspect may help to recognise the lesions caused by insects or arachnids. The chapters on mite and tick dermatoses give information for prevention and therapeutic behaviour.
