Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks how Mites are diagnosed by the morphologic appearance of the adults, and presents four options for the method typically used. 
Option a: Direct smear. This method involves smearing material directly onto a slide and examining it under a microscope. While it can be used for some organisms, mite diagnosis by adult morphology generally relies on collecting specimens in a way that yields intact mites rather than a quick smear which may miss or distort features. This makes direct smear less reliable for identifying mature mites.
Option b: Cut hair samples sent to the lab. Hair samples are more commonly used for diagnosing hair shaft parasites (like certain fungi or lice) or for specific dermatologic conditions, but mites are usually inspected from skin scrapings or via dermal sampling rather than hair, so this option does not align with the typical morphologic assessment of adult mites.
Option c: Multiple skin scrapings and a microscope. This option describes obtaining skin scrapings from multiple sites and examining them under a microscope to visualize adult mites or their signs (such as mite bodies, eggs, or fecal pellets) in depth. This is the standard diagnostic approach for many cutaneous mite infestations, matching the emphasis on morphologic appearance of adults.
Option d: PE with the use of the unaided eye. Relying on a physical examination alone, without magnification, is generally insufficient to identify mites morphologically, since many features distinguishing mites require magnification and sometimes preparation of the skin scrapings for clear visualization. This makes unaided-eye examination inadequate for definitive morphological diagnosis.
In summary, the most appropriate method emphasizes collecting skin material and examining it microscopically to reveal the adult mites and related structures, rather than relying on quick smears, hair samples, or naked-eye inspection. The reasoning for the other options hinges on their limitations in visualizing and distinguishing mite morphology reliably under standard diagnostic practices.
