Norwegian scabies. A new complication of immunosuppressive therapy
Abstract:
The second reported case of Norwegian scabies in an immunosuppressed patient is presented. This uncommon fulminant form of scabies is difficult to diagnose and may give rise to numerous secondary cases of routine scabies. Because of the current widespread use of immunosuppressive medication, it is believed that an increasing number of cases of Norwegian scabies will be seen and that an increased awareness on the part of clinicians will be necessary in order to diagnose such cases early in their course before numerous hospital personnel are infested.
