Article Synopsis
- Dermatitis caused by free-living mites is challenging to diagnose due to painless bites and invisible ectoparasites; this study discusses a clinical case in Italy along with a review of similar cases and outbreaks.
- A total of 40 case reports and 21 outbreaks were analyzed, predominantly affecting young females during summer in Europe, where dermatitis was the main symptom, and diagnosis relied on risk factors.
- The study highlights that dermatitis is often underreported in regions like Africa and Central/South America due to its self-limiting nature and suggests that reduced pesticide use could increase future exposure to these mites.
