Detection of living Sarcoptes scabiei larvae by reflectance mode confocal microscopy in the skin of a patient with crusted scabies.
Scabies is an intensely pruritic disorder induced by a delayed type hypersensitivity reaction to infestation of the skin by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The diagnosis of scabies is established clinically and confirmed by identifying mites or eggs by microscopic examination of scrapings from the skin or by surface microscopy using a dermatoscope. Reflectance-mode confocal microscopy is a novel te...
متن کاملCrusted (Norvegian) scabies
A 86-year-old fully bedridden woman with dementia and chronic kidney disease presented with extensive, grey-yellowish hyperkeratotic plaques located on the palms, axillae, chest, and face that had occurred 3 months ago (Fig. 1). Moreover, a generalized rash with thickening of the skin and intense pruritus was present. Dematoscopy revealed several dense triangles suspicious for scabies mites hea...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy of mammary Paget disease
Mammary Paget disease is the intraepidermal adenocarcinoma of the nipple area which is characterized usually by a well-demarcated eczematous plaque. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM), is an in vivo noninvasive diagnostic tool with a high-resolution imaging of the skin, almost comparable to conventional histology. RCM findings of Paget disease are limited in the literature. Most of the repor...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy of optical phantoms
A reflectance confocal scanning laser microscope (rCSLM) operating at 488-nm wavelength imaged three types of optical phantoms: (1) 100-nm-dia. polystyrene microspheres in gel at 2% volume fraction, (2) solid polyurethane phantoms (INO Biomimic(TM)), and (3) common reflectance standards (Spectralon(TM)). The noninvasive method measured the exponential decay of reflected signal as the focus (z(f...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy features of facial angiofibromas
Facial angiofibromas are benign tumors presenting as firm, dome-shaped, flesh-colored to pink papules, typically on the nose and adjoining central face. Clinically and dermoscopically they can mimic melanocytic nevi or basal cell carcinomas (BCC). Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) is a noninvasive imaging tool that is useful in diagnosing melanocytic and non-melanocytic facial lesions. To d...
