Title: In vivo dermoscopy of nit with abortive dimple. Author: G. Scanni
CLINICAL DATA
-Clinical description: in adult female (teacher) was found only one nit during a visit to pupils reported few cases of
pediculosis capitis. Patient had never had symptoms and therefore never made specific therapies.
-Dermoscopic description: a distal nit shows a deep depression along its entire length (abortive dimple).
The clipping (30x) better identifies the apparently amorphous content.
-Comment: we cannot exclude the existence of non-pharmacological factors able to arrest
the development of a infestation at the onset.
In this case, since no treatment had been started this hypothesis seems very suggestive.
