“…The prevalence rate of atypical scabies presentation, like crusted scabies, is unknown [2]. There are only a few reported cases showing the association between crusted scabies and leprosy in non-HIV infected individuals [3].…”

This is the case of a 71-year-old Filipino female from Caloocan with a history of Hansen’s disease, treated (1980) who presented with generalized crusted plaques. Clinical and histopathological examination revealed crusted (Norwegian) scabies. Crusted scabies is a rare condition and diagnosis is often delayed; this condition is treated with systemic broad spectrum antiparasitic agents. Despite the common prevalence of scabies, its atypical forms are often overlooked and neglected which oftentimes does affect the patients' well-being.

Disseminated Cutaneous Mycobacterium Haemophilum Infection and Concomitant Crusted Scabies in an Iatrogenically Immunocompromised Patient - A Case Report

et al. 2018

Mycobacterium haemophilum and crusted scabies are rare cutaneous diseases reported in distinct immunocompromised hosts. M. haemophilum is a skin and soft tissue infection, whereas crusted scabies is an infestation of the skin. Whereas scabies infestation is readily diagnosed, M. haemophilum infection poses a diagnostic challenge due to its rarity as well as varied clinical and histologic presentations. Although both scabies infestation and M. haemophilum have been reported in the literature separately, to our knowledge no previous reports have described these diseases occurring simultaneously in an iatrogenically immunosuppressed patient. We report herein a rare case of concomitant M. haemophilum and scabies infestation in a 38-year-old woman with dermatomyositis on multiple immunosuppressive agents.
