Entodermoscopy: A New Tool for Diagnosing Skin Infections and Infestations

Iris Zalaudek, Jason Giacomel,  Horacio Cabo, Alessandro Di Stefani, Gerardo Ferrara, Rainer Hofmann-Wellenhof, Joseph Malvehy, Susana Puig, Wilhelm Stolz, Giuseppe Argenziano

...ences between vital and empty nits also appear useful in monitoring treatment efficacy, in that the presence of vital nits should lead to a continuation or modification of therapy [35, 36] . The utility of dermoscopy in the diagnosis of pediculosis capititis has been recently confirmed by a larger series of patients by Scanni and Bonifazi [37], who also introduced the term ‘entodermoscopy’.

-Comment:                                            although nit dimensions are small, it can aesily be studied by dermatoscope.

 Lice_Entodermoscopy (Datasheet P004)

 

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.
