Abstract:
Trombiculiasis is an epizoonosis that occurs worldwide and is caused by various types of chiggers. Clinical findings after accidental contact with the parasitic mite larvae include erythematous papules and urticarial plaques, to some extent with vesicular transformation, which can lead to excoriations due to the intense pruritus. Prophylaxis against exposure is recommended when visiting areas known to be colonized by mites. Reactions to bites can be treated by local application of alcohol compresses or zinc lotions and external application of agents containing polidocanol or glucocorticosteroid. Systemic antihistamines are indicated to control itching.
