"Hang On" - Gonçalo TARDAO
A 5-year-old female presented to the ophthalmology department with complains of ocular pruritus for the past month. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed translucent egg-shaped nits (black arrow) and adult lices (white arrowhead) attached to the eyelashes. Microbiological examination identified Pthirus pubis. These infestations may spread through close contact with an infected individual and sexual abuse must be excluded as this can be a sexually transmitted disease. She was referred to the dermatology and paediatric departments to treat associated infestations and rule out other sexually transmitted diseases.
