This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of DS in scabies, analyze the factors influencing DS, and explore its role in post-treatment evaluation. Patients with suspected scabies were randomly divided into 2 groups: 71 patients in the skin scraping (SS) group and 73 patients in the DS group. The diagnostic efficiencies of SS and DS in these groups were calculated. We also analyzed the influence of body part and investigator competence on the accuracy of DS. Then 16 body parts with typical signs of scabies were monitored by DS 2 and 4 day after sulfur ointment treatment. The sensitivity and specificity of DS were 98.3% and 88.5%, respectively. Hands, arms, and the abdomen had higher positivity rates than other body parts (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;0.001). The accuracy of dermatologists\u2019 interpretations of images negative for scabies in the intermediate- and high-level groups was higher than that in the low-level group (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;0.001). At follow-up, the mites were still visible on 43.8% to 62.5% of the skin lesions 2 and 4 day after sulfur ointment treatment. These results showed that DS could significantly increase the accuracy of diagnosing scabies owing to its high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, it may be useful for monitoring clinical responses to anti-parasitic treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3347\/kjp.2020.58.6.669","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,30]],"date-time":"2020-12-30T08:33:51Z","timestamp":1609317231000},"page":"669-674","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3347\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Diagnostic Accuracy of Dermoscopy for Scabies"],"prefix":"10.3347","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Feng-Zeng","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1900","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":""},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12879-019-3818-5"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(18)30665-0"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/ice.2019.57"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"991","volume-title":"Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of scabies in Japan (third edition): Executive Committee of Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Scabies","year":"2017"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5826\/dpc.0701a09"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciu826"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15570\/actaapa.2018.17"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.13676"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2011.51"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0004691"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2017.07.038"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.det.2018.05.015"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2006.07.025"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.14351"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/09546631003649687"}],"container-title":["The Korean Journal of Parasitology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/parasitol.kr\/upload\/pdf\/kjp-58-6-669.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,8]],"date-time":"2021-01-08T05:51:03Z","timestamp":1610085063000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/parasitol.kr\/journal\/view.php?doi=10.3347\/kjp.2020.58.6.669"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3347\/kjp.2020.58.6.669","relation":{},"ISSN":["0023-4001","1738-0006"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0023-4001","type":"print"},{"value":"1738-0006","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,29]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2019-11-19","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-09-27","order":1,"name":"revised","label":"Revised","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-10-25","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-12-29","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
