Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Norwegian scabies is a hyperinfestation form of scabies.
  • It typically affects immunocompromised individuals, including children and adults.
  • Neonatal presentation of Norwegian scabies is exceptionally rare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of Norwegian scabies in a neonate.
  • To discuss the clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges.
  • To review management strategies for neonatal Norwegian scabies.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a neonate diagnosed with Norwegian scabies.
  • Review of relevant medical literature on neonatal scabies and Norwegian scabies.

Main Results:

  • The neonate presented with severe, widespread skin lesions consistent with Norwegian scabies.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination and microscopic identification of mites and ova.
  • Successful treatment outcomes were achieved with appropriate antiparasitic therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Norwegian scabies, though rare, can occur in neonates.
  • Early recognition and prompt treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering severe scabies in neonates, even without typical risk factors.
