Even though considerable research is being produced in medical entomology, no reports on patient management in clinical entomology units are available in the literature.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively surveyed all the records from patients having consulted in our outpatient clinical entomology unit in Nice University Hospital from 2012 to 2020.
