Crusts on the Eyelashes

A 27-month-old boy was referred to pediatric dermatology for the evaluation of crusts on his eyelashes; they had been present for 2  months and were increasing in number. The crusts had appeared after a trip to Bulgaria, where his family had been sleeping in several different hotels and places. Physical examination showed crusts on both eyelashes and a few crusts on the front part of his scalp. He had slight conjunctivitis and palpebral pruritis. The child was in good health and the physical examination was otherwise normal.
