Overview

Acarodermatitis is a very common disease in clinical practice. It affects, especially, patients running their own farm. It also occurs in city inhabitants keeping pets – dogs, cats, guinea pigs or rabbits. The pets may be affected by cheyletiella. Acarodermatitis represents a remarkable interdisciplinary topic for dermatologists, veterinarians and parasitologists. Contact points are also found in dermatohistopathology. Above all, cheyletiellosis cutaneous symptoms may clinically and histopathologically imitate immunobullous dermatoses.

Key words:
acarodermatitis – Cheyletiella – histological findings
