“…However, psoriasis often occurs provoked by infections and it is usually relatively resistant to a secondary infection. Previous reports proposed secondary infection of maggot on the children scalp resulting in traumatic psoriatic plaque [ 8 , 9 ].…”

“…This study elucidated an increased risk of psoriasis among patients with scabies, and several shared immune‐mediated inflammatory pathways among scabies and psoriasis may exist. On the other hand, ivermectin, which is used to treat scabies, is reported to have potential benefits in the treatment of psoriasis . Although ivermectin is rarely used in treating scabies in Taiwan.…”

“…On the other hand, ivermectin, which is used to treat scabies, is reported to have potential benefits in the treatment of psoriasis. 42 Although ivermectin is rarely used in treating scabies in Taiwan. We assumed that early treatment of scabies may slow or block the shared inflammatory processes and lower the subsequent risk of psoriasis.…”

Both scabies and psoriasis are pruritic inflammatory skin diseases. The clinical manifestations are similar and provocation of psoriasis by mite bite was reported. The association between scabies and psoriasis was not investigated before. We conducted this nationwide population-based matched-cohort study to describe if patients with a diagnosis of scabies have a different risk of developing new psoriasis. From the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, patients with scabies (n = 5137) were identified and matched for age and sex with non-scabies controls (n = 19 142). We tracked them for a 7-year period to identify the incidence of psoriasis. One hundred and ninety (0.8%) patients with newly diagnosed psoriasis were identified; 91 (1.8%) from the scabies group and 99 (0.5%) from the control group. Patients with scabies had a higher risk of subsequent psoriasis, with a crude hazard ratio of 3.45 and an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 3.03 (95% confidence interval, 2.24-4.11). An increased risk for psoriasis among patients with scabies was observed (aHR, 3.03). Immunopathology involving the T-helper 17 cell-mediated inflammatory pathway may contribute to this association. Physicians may consider implementing assessments of psoriatic symptoms in patients with scabies.
