    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Scabies and gonococcal urethritis are common conditions.
    • Genital excoriations can occur secondary to intense itching from scabies.

    Observation:

    • A patient with both scabies and gonococcal urethritis presented with secondary infection of excoriated genital lesions.
    • The complication arose after the patient occluded his genitals with plastic wrap.

    Findings:

    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium causing gonorrhea, was identified as the secondary infectious agent.
    • The occlusion likely created a moist environment conducive to bacterial proliferation.

    Implications:

    • Highlights a rare but serious complication of combined scabies and gonorrhea.
