Cimicosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1743601322
Infestation by bedbugs, which are blood-sucking temporary ectoparasites. The most common species to attack humans is Cimex lectularius. In individuals who are not sensitized by previous exposure, there may be no symptoms or signs other than purpuric macules at the sites of bites. Weals, papules or bullae may occur in sensitized individuals.
