In Vivo Observation of Trombiculosis with Fluorescence–Advanced Videodermatoscopy

Abstract

Trombiculosis is a skin infestation by larvae of mites of the Trombiculidae family. We used fluorescence–advanced videodermatoscopy to diagnose trombiculosis in a woman in Italy with targetoid patches. This method might be useful for identifying atypical manifestations of trombiculosis.
