Detection of Demodex Mites in Native Skin Scrapings

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0300

Demodex mite (anterior part) surrounded by epithelial scales, native skin scraping preparation, treated with 40% alkali, low (x10) and high (x40) magnification. Demodex mites (in humans, these are D. folliculorum and D. brevis species) are small mites that inhabit sebaceous glands and around hair follicles. They are found in almost every person, most often harmless, but when they multiply excessively, they can cause the disease demodicosis. It is registered in individuals of all ages with weakened immunity, impaired metabolism, as well as in children with chronic gastrointestinal and lung diseases. The goal of demodicosis diagnosis is to detect the mite and/or its eggs on the eyelashes and in skin scrapings. Most often, Demodex mites are localized on the facial skin, eyelashes, and in the external ear area; the chest and back are affected significantly less often.

Demodex mite. Microscopic examination of eyelashes Demodicosis is one of the most unpleasant parasitic eye diseases affecting the eyelid area. The development of demodicosis is provoked by Demodex mites. Normally, many people have a small number of mites living on their face, eyelashes, and in the eyelid glands. However, under certain circumstances, the mites begin to multiply, their number increases, which causes the inflammatory process of eyelid demodicosis.
