Norwegian scabies is an ectoparasitic infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei, characterized by hyperkeratotic lesions of the hands, feet, ears, and scalp, which contain many mites. An epidemic of Norwegian scabies involved 22 patients in a 25-patient ward of mentally and physically handicapped persons (mostly mongoloids). The pathogenesis of the prolific mite population is unclear, but either a specific immunologic deficit or the inability to effectively eliminate the mites by scratching is a plausible possibility.
挪威疥疮是由疥螨引起的一种外寄生虫感染，其特征为手部、足部、耳部和头皮出现角化过度性损害，损害内有许多螨虫。在一个收治精神和身体残障者（大多为先天性愚型患者）的25人病房中，有22人感染了挪威疥疮，形成了一次流行。螨虫大量繁殖的发病机制尚不清楚，但可能是存在特异性免疫缺陷，或者是因搔抓而无法有效清除螨虫。
