Introduction: ID reactions are infrequent disorders which are often misdiagnosed because they developed as acute dermatitis after days or weeks at skin locations distant from the initial inflammatory or infectious/infestations site. For now, several causes have been described to trigger such reactions which includes infection with dermatophytosis, Mycobacterium, viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Pediculid nowadays is forgotten entity in dermatology daily practice as well as major dermatology textbooks. Case Presentation: We present an illustrative case report of pediculid that is an ID reaction to Pediculosis capitis in 6 y.o. girl with acute generalized eczematous dermatitis successfully treated by elimination of pediculosis. Also, there is description of relapsing the condition with reinfestation. Discussion/Conclusion: During discussion and literature review, comprehensive description was made to the ID reaction as entity and its diagnostic criteria. In conclusion, we want to highlight that being aware of such possibility is important (especially in pediatric patients) to reach a correct diagnosis quickly and avoid unnecessary treatment and examinations.
