Core tip: Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease, to determine that is not all of the venereal disease, but can also be transmitted through sexual contact, and once suffering or more painful, below for you to introduce.

Scabies is not sexually transmitted disease, but scabies is very contagious, and after the night after the infection is unbearable, horrible degree believe that we have already understood, scabies is a kind of contagious disease that has to be prevent, now give everybody to introduce hope everybody, especially gregarious people attention, don't be infected, if the infection should be treated as soon as possible.

Scabies is caused by the human skin mites parasitic on the surface of the body of chronic infectious skin diseases, the disease is highly contagious, mainly through close contact with infection, but also through clothing indirect transmission, can be in the family or the collective population.

Mite parasitic in the skin, digging "tunnels" in the production of mechanical stimulation, and secretions and feces caused by allergic reactions, resulting in severe skin irritation of infected people, especially at night (due to mite in the evening activity is strong). The disease occurs in winter, the course length is different, some can be protracted for several months

Late-onset allergy:

The onset of scabies, delayed allergic reaction plays a very important role, but in the scabies infection period, the detection of serum immunoglobulin level can reflect B cell activity, the infection period of IGA significantly reduced, IgG and IgM level significantly elevated, after treatment, the serum level of IgE in patients with scabies is significantly higher than normal, After the patients were cured, the level of IgE decreased, and the IGE produced by the infection of scabies mite was specific, it was not cross with the dust mite antigen.

Hoefling with Immunofluorescence technology found that the dermal vascular wall of patients with IgM and C3 deposition, like skin vasculitis, and dermal junction with granular Igm,igg deposition, like lupus erythematosus, neste in the patient serum detected with complement C1q binding antigen antibody complex, Another study found that the cells of the patient's epidermis were damaged and their density decreased, the decrease or shortening of dendrites or the increase of cell body, and the phenomenon of cavitation and mitochondrial crest rupture in the cells, the treatment of scabies in one year often has a hypersensitivity reaction to the extract of scabies mite, the patients with nodular scabies, and the inhibitory T cell function of regulating B cells is defective.

Scabies skin damage may have the following reasons:

1. Scabies itching Red papules, the scabies mites drilled into the skin directly caused.
2. The formation of blister or  may be the excretion of mites or horns, as a sensitizing substance caused by the expansion of epidermis and dermal capillaries.
3. The  tunnel system is caused by mite excavation. 
4. Nodules are the reaction of the organism to the mite antigen .

Through the small make up my above for everybody about scabies introduction, I believe we have some understanding of it, scabies, although not sexually transmitted diseases, but its high-speed and simple way of transmission is worthy of attention, I hope we all develop good personal hygiene habits to prevent infection.
