- Abstract
The article presents a diagnostic case concerning an 11-year-old girl who acutely developed a pustule on her nose, which spread rapidly and had become an oozing, crusted plaque studded with pustules. Diagnosis on the case is demodicidosis, which is caused by Demodex mites and is rarely seen in children. The microscopic findings and clinical course of the disease is presented, along with the patient's therapeutic regimen.
