scabies
-
pathophysiology
The symptoms are caused by an allergic reaction of the host's body to mite proteins, though exactly which proteins remains a topic of study
The mite proteins are also present from the gut, in mite feces, which are deposited under the skin.
The allergic reaction is both of the delayed (cell-mediated) and immediate (antibody-mediated) type, and involves IgE (antibodies are presumed to mediate the very rapid symptoms on reinfection)
] The allergy-type symptoms (itching) continue for some days, and even several weeks, after all mites are killed.
