Abstract:
Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are including an overactive bladder, voiding and storing urine. The causes of LUTS include infectious and inflammatory. In this paper we present a rare case of LUTS caused by scabies mites and could be the third case reported in the medical literature. A 12-year-old child came to hospital complaining of tenesmus, dysuria and hematuria several days ago. A diagnosis of LUTS was established and investigations showed the scabie mite is the possible cause for the disease. Scabies mites have the ability of entering into the urinary tract leading to LUTS in patients affected with scabies.
