“…However, there is a growing trend of authors who advocate treatment modalities considered less invasive and are very promising, such as the use of ivermectin or irrigation with nitrofurazonee (1,5,8,(10)(11)(12).…”

“…Unatoč tomu postoji uzlazni trend kod autora koji zagovaraju manje invazivne, ali vrlo uspješne metode liječenja. Tu ubrajamo uporabu ivermectina ili ispiranje nitrofurazonom (1,5,8,10,11,12).…”

Many arthropod species are capable of inflicting bites and stings on humans. They produce their effects on the skin by a variety of mechanisms, resulting in a wide spectrum of clinical lesions. Reaction to arthropod assaults can range from mild to life threatening. Diagnosis of arthropod bites is often self‐evident, but may be difficult when the source of the bites is not immediately obvious. An entomologist is often invaluable in these situations. Many diseases have arthropods vectors, for example malaria (mosquitoes), leishmaniasis (sandflies) and typhus (lice). The terrestrial arthropods of medical interest include the orders Insecta (insects), Arachnida (arachnida), Chilopoda (centipedes) and Diplopoda (millipedes).

This chapter provides an introductory overview of arthropods that are medically important to humans. The authors describe the anatomy and physiology of various arthropods, including insects, spiders and mites, and discuss their role in transmitting diseases to humans. They also provide guidance on identifying and managing arthropod bites, stings and infestations. The chapter includes information on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of common arthropod‐related conditions, such as lice, scabies and bed bug infestations. The authors emphasise the importance of a thorough patient history and physical examination in the diagnosis of arthropod‐related conditions, and provide practical advice on prevention and treatment. Overall, this chapter serves as a useful resource for medical doctors and dermatologists who encounter patients with arthropod‐related conditions in their practice.
