  • Title: The return of the common bedbug.
    Author: Ter Poorten MC, Prose NS.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2005; 22(3):183-7. PubMed ID: 15916561.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of skin disease secondary to infestation with the human bedbug, Cimex lectularius, has increased dramatically in the United States and in the United Kingdom. We describe a child with a recurrent pruritic eruption of urticarial, erythematous papules on the face, neck, and extremities. The etiology of her cutaneous lesions was discovered to be a bedbug infestation in the home. The epidemiology, entomology, presentation, and treatment of bedbugs and their bites are discussed.
