Scabies and systemic lupus erythematosus.

H C Ting, F Wang

    International Journal of Dermatology
    |October 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Systemic lupus erythematosus patients may experience more severe scabies infections. Two patients developed crusted scabies, suggesting an immunologic link in this lupus patient population.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Limited research exists on scabies prevalence and severity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
    • Understanding the interplay between autoimmune conditions and parasitic skin infections is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Observation:

    • Five patients with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with scabies.
    • The scabies infestations observed in these patients were notably more severe than typical cases.
    • Two patients developed the highly contagious and severe form known as crusted scabies.

    Findings:

    • Scabies in SLE patients can manifest with increased severity.
    • The development of crusted scabies in two SLE patients suggests a potential immunologic basis.
    • This indicates a possible heightened susceptibility or altered immune response in SLE patients to Sarcoptes scabiei.

    Implications:

    • These findings highlight the need for heightened clinical suspicion for severe scabies in SLE patients.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the specific immunologic mechanisms involved.
    • Early recognition and management of scabies are essential in this vulnerable patient group to prevent severe complications.
