- Abstract
The authors present the case of a 60-yearold male patient diagnosed with underlying malignant disease, who parallel to immune and chemotherapy, developed whitish-grey crusted skin plaques on his whole body, especially on the hair scalp, extremities and trunk, accompanied by a general squamous exfoliation. The systemic chemotherapy was delayed due to prog ressing skin symptoms. Histo pa tho lo - gi cal sampling revealed irregular epidermal ducts and mite sections, which established the diagnosis of crusted scabies. The patient’s immunosuppressed status contributed to the development of severe scabies infestation. Only by topical anti-scabies treatment, all skin manifestations regressed, and he became free of symptoms after 2 weeks. The authors draw attention to the extraordinary clinical feature of this scabies infestation and stress the effectiveness of topical only use of permethrin.
