Dermatoses associated with mites other than Sarcoptes.

Dermatoses associated with mites other than Sarcoptes. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2014 Sep;33(3):110-5 Authors: Ken KM, Shockman SC, Sirichotiratana M, Lent MP, Wilson ML Abstract Mites are arthropods of the subclass Acari (Acarina). Although Sarcoptes is the mite most commonly recognized as a cause of human skin disease in the United States, numerous other mite-associated dermatoses have been described, and merit familiarity on the part of physicians treating skin disease. This review discusses several non-scabies mites and their associated diseases, including Demodex, chiggers, Cheyletiella, bird mites, grain itch, oak leaf itch, grocer's itch, tropical rat mite, snake mite, and Psoroptes.
