ABSTRACT

La sarna noruega es una variedad muy infrecuente¹ de la escabiosis que afecta principalmente a pacientes inmunodeprimidos. Debido a la gran cantidad de parásitos presentes en las lesiones, las manifestaciones clínicas son mucho más intensas que en las formas habituales de sarna y es altamente contagiosa. Se describe el caso de un niño con síndrome de Down con este tipo de parasitosis, que presentó una respuesta muy satisfactoria al tratamiento combinado con queratolíticos, emolientes, ivermectina y acaricidas tópicos.


Norwegian (crusted) scabies is a rare and extreme manifestation of scabies that can be observed mainly among immunosuppressed patients. Due to the high number of scabies mites present in each lesion, crusted scabies symptoms are much more intense than in usual scabies and it is thus highly contagious. A case study of a child with Down syndrome and Norwegian scabies who shows a good response to a treatment combining keratolytics, emollients, ivermectin and topical scabicides is described.
