@article{Bonifazi_2011, title={Dermoscopic evidence of phthirius pubis adjacent to macula cerulea of the back.}, volume={21}, url={https://www.ejpd.com/index.php/journal/article/view/711}, abstractNote={ An 8-year-old boy was first observed<br />for intermittent eruption of asymptomatic bluish spots,<br />1-3 cm in size, lasting a few days, arising from a month<br />on the trunk and on the root of the limbs to a lesser<br />extent. According to his mother, the eruption was preceded<br />by fever and abdominal pain, which suggested vasculitis.<br />The physical examination showed on the back<br />blue spots (Fig. 1), the largest of which, about 3 cm<br />in size, was located on the medial margin of the right<br />scapula (oval). The spots evoked the suspicion of maculae<br />ceruleae. The eyelashes were full of nits (Fig. 4),<br />that did not cause itching and were not noticed by his<br />mother. When putting the dermoscope on the scapular<br />macula cerulea, we saw at a distance of 1 cm from it a<br />self-moving Phthirius (Fig. 2 and 3, arrow), then taken<br />and identified under a microscope (inset of Fig. 3). Removal<br />of nits with vaseline was prescribed. }, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Pediatric Dermatology}, author={Bonifazi, E.}, year={2011}, month={Mar.}, pages={ 54} }
