An eighty-two year old patient had scabies and transient acantholytic dermatosis (TAD, Grover's disease) at the same time. Persistent itching papules after lindane therapy finally led us to the microscopic diagnosis of TAD. Different trigger mechanisms can apparently induce the typical acantholysis. In addition to solar radiation, tumors and tumor therapy-dependent conditions, cutaneous infections have been implicated reports (Demodex folliculorum, Malassezia furfur) as causes of TAD. This may be the first report about a relationship between TAD and mite infection with Sarcoptes scabiei.
