ABSTRACT
Ectoparasites are the parasites that live primarily on the surface of the host. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman who phthiriasis palpebrarum, presented with signs and symptoms of a common eye condition blephero conjunctivitis. She was diagnosed to have phthiriasis palpebrarum. The infestation by this organism is regarded as a marker for other sexuallytransmitted disease (STD) infections like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes genitalis and trichomonas.
