 dermatitis is an acute irritant dermatitis resulting from contact with the hemolymph of  beetles. This dermatitis mimics other infectious skin disorders, often resulting in diagnostic dilemmas. This study of 46 patients was conducted to increase awareness about  dermatitis. Possible causes of a number of cases of  dermatitis in Giresun, Turkey, were investigated using climate data and telephone interviews with the patients about risk factors. Insects caught by patients were identified at the species level. All patients were hazelnut farm workers and admitted to the hospital in the months during which the hazelnut harvesting occurs. Of the patients, 11 (23.91%) presented with painful and burning skin lesions, and 35 (70.09%) complained of itching. The neck was the most involved site (47.83%). The predominant type of lesion was erythematous plaque (84.78%). No pathological findings were detected by laboratory testing. Patients reported coming into contact with the insect during the daytime. Captured insects were identified as  Although the weather and climate were optimal for  during June-October, patients were admitted to the hospital only during the hazelnut harvesting season (August-September). The only risk factor identified among patients was occupation; hence we believe our study is the first to suggest that  dermatitis is an occupational disease among hazelnut farm workers. We suggest that  spp. may become a substantial threat due to global warming, especially among farm workers.  dermatitis is not included in classic medical textbooks. It is necessary to increase awareness about this condition.

Clinical and Epidemiological Features of Paederus Dermatitis Among Nut Farm Workers in Turkey.

Mites are microscopic organisms that lower the quality of life of people who are sensitive to them by causing conditions such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. These organisms are found in every habitat where humans live. This study was conducted to determine the presence of storage mites in dry food items.

The Investigation of the Presence of Mites in Some Served Dry Foodstuffs.

Leishmaniasis is an important parasitic disease in many countries, including ours. A variety of drugs are currently used for its treatment. However, certain side effects of these drugs, such as teratogenicity, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, have been reported in some patients. The goal of this research is to determine the antileishmanial effects of eight different previously synthesised compounds containing Schiff and Mannich bases (morpholine) against  promastigotes by the liquid microdilution method utilising alamarBlue.
