The aim of this multicentric observational retrospective was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of polarised and ultraviolet\u2010induced fluorescence (UVF) dermoscopic examination in both fair and dark skin, also assessing possible differences according to the skin tone.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Consecutive patients with a diagnosis of scabies were eligible. All the images were randomly evaluated by two independent experienced investigators to identify scabietic findings reported in the literature. Interobserver agreement was evaluated for both polarised and UVF dermoscopic pictures through Cohen's kappa coefficient, while Fisher's exact test with\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2010value set at 0.05 was used for comparative analyses between the two settings.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 97 lesions from 43 patients (21 with fair skin and 22 with dark skin) were included. The comparative analysis highlighted a superiority of UVF dermoscopy to detect the burrow (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.003) and scabietic eggs (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.012) in skin of colour, while polarised dermoscopy was more accurate to show the mite in fair skin (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.042). Additionally, a general higher accuracy of both settings in light phototypes was also found, with a higher prevalence (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05) of typical scabietic findings (i.e., serpiginous white tract, \u2018triangle\u2019 sign and grey\u2010brown outlines of the burrow for polarised dermoscopy and green dot for UVF dermoscopy) compared to dark skin. Kappa values were 0.87 and 0.83 for polarised and UVF\u2010dermoscopy, respectively.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n UVF dermoscopy improves the recognition of scabies, though it should be considered complimentary to polarised light dermoscopic examination to increase diagnostic performance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajd.14406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]],"date-time":"2024-12-27T06:24:22Z","timestamp":1735280662000},"page":"69-74","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Dermoscopy of Scabies: Utility of Polarised and Ultraviolet\u2010Induced Fluorescence Examination in Fair and Dark Skin"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7152-6136","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enzo","family":"Errichetti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Area, Institute of Dermatology University of Udine Udine Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noemi","family":"Plozner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Area, Institute of Dermatology University of Udine Udine Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nkechi A.","family":"Enechukwu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine Nnamdi Azikiwe University\/Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi Nigeria"},{"name":"Department of Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences University of the Gambia\/Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital Banjul Gambia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasmeen J.","family":"Bhat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, Government Medical College University of Kashmir Srinagar Jammu and Kashmir India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Pietkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher Pozna\u0144 Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalia","family":"Salwowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, School of Medicine Medical University of Silesia Katowice Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iris","family":"Zalaudek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology University of Trieste Trieste Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Stinco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Area, Institute of Dermatology University of Udine Udine Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"75","article-title":"Comparing the Diagnostic Properties of Skin Scraping, Adhesive Tape, and Dermoscopy in Diagnosing Scabies","volume":"27","author":"Abdel\u2010Latif A.
