Abstract: Aim: It is reported that species of Demodex can be found in various locations on human body and transmitted via close contact. Types of Demodex are reported to be located in various places of human body. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between age and incidence of Demodex spp. among female patients complaining of pruritus in the perinea area. Method: Samples taken from perinea areas of the women using standardized surface skin biopsy (SSSB). Accordingly, samples were obtained using SSSB method from the faces and perinea areas of 431 women aged 18-55, which were then covered with entellan and sent to the parasitological laboratory. Specimens were covered with entellan and evaluated in Parasitology Laboratory. Results: Among the 431 specimens, 21.1% revealed Demodex spp., 1.6% revealed mite, 3.05% revealed Enterobius vermicularis eggs, 0.2% revealed Taenia spp. eggs, and 0.2% revealed Phthirus pubis. Conclusion: It was concluded that it should be taken into consideration that species of Demodex can be found in the women perinea region, thus specimens should be taken from patients consulting with pruritus or allergic reactions in order to diagnose the parasite, and treatment protocol should be planned in this direction. In addition, experimental studies may be planned to investigate the relationship between the parasite intensity in perinea region and pathogenity.
