Crusted scabies (also known as Norwegian scabies) is a highly contagious variant of scabies characterized by profuse proliferation of mites in the skin and widespread, crusted, hyperkeratotic papules, plaques, and nodules. Typically, pruritus is minimal or absent. The condition usually occurs in immunocompromised individuals. Occurrence in healthy infants has rarely been reported. We report an 11-month-old healthy Malay boy who presented with crusted scabies.
结痂性疥疮(又称挪威疥疮)是一种具有高度传染性的疥疮变种,其特征为皮肤内螨虫大量增殖,以及广泛分布的结痂性、角化过度的丘疹、斑块和结节。通常,瘙痒轻微或无瘙痒症状。这种病症通常发生在免疫功能低下的个体中。健康婴儿患此病的报道极为罕见。我们报告了一名11个月大的健康马来男婴,他患有结痂性疥疮。
