An outbreak of scabies in a residential home for the elderly is described, and the investigation and management of the problem discussed. Multiple cases of scabies in this type of community are almost invariably associated with the presence of an unrecognized case of crusted (Norwegian) scabies. Unless such an individual is recognized, attempts to eradicate the problem may prove unsuccessful.
