Acariasis is a medical condition characterized by infestation of human or animal tissues by mites, a diverse group of microscopic arthropods belonging to the order Acari. This condition can manifest in multiple ways, ranging from skin-related disorders to potentially invasive infections affecting various bodily systems. Unlike many parasitic infestations, acariasis is not limited to cutaneous manifestations and can impact internal organs, including the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts.
