ABSTRACT

En esta revisión de la literatura se describen aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos, clínicos y terapéuticos sobre una presentación atípica y grave de escabiosis, la sarna costrosa o noruega. Esta presentación de escabiosis destaca por afectar principalmente a personas con condiciones de inmunodepresión o sociales que las hacen susceptibles de una alta carga parasitaria, además se asocia a un peor pronóstico y a riesgo de complicaciones. Desde el punto de vista terapéutico, sus estrategias difieren del manejo de la escabiosis clásica.(AU)


This literature review describes epidemiological, pathophysiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of an atypical and severe presentation of scabies, Norwegian or crusty scabies. This presentation of scabies stands out because it mainly affects people with immunosuppressive or social conditions that make them susceptibleto a high parasite load, it is also associated with a worse prognosis and risk of complications. From a therapeutic point of view, their strategies differ from the management of classic scabies.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Se expone el caso de una paciente obesa inmunodeprimida que presentó una sarna costrosa. Luego de la sospecha clínica se confirmó el diagnóstico mediante acarotest. La paciente sufrió algunas complicaciones asociadas a su condición general, como sobreinfección de sus lesiones cutáneas, epistaxis e insuficiencia renal aguda, que fueron tratadas. La sarna costrosa fue tratada con ivermectina oral con dosis de 15 mg (200 ug/kilo de peso ideal según la talla), los días 1, 2, 7, 8 y 15, obteniendo una excelente respuesta terapéutica.


We present the case of an immunosuppressed obese patient who presented with crusted scabies. After clinical suspicion, the diagnosis was confirmed with skin scraping for the diagnosis of scabies. The patient presented some complications associated with her baseline condition, such as superinfection of her skin lesions, epistaxis and acute renal failure, which were treated. Crusted scabies was treated with oral ivermectin with a dose of 15 mg (200 ug/kg of ideal weight according to height), on days 1,2,7,8 and 15, obtaining an excellent therapeutic response.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: La escabiasis costrosa (EC) es una variante poco común de sarcoptiosis clásica, altamente contagiosa. Las lesiones poseen una elevada concentración del ácaro Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis, lo que conlleva a un cuadro clínico más extenso que en la escabiasis clásica. Se observa principalmente en pacientes con algún tipo de inmunocompromiso y se relaciona con el síndrome de Down. Caso clínico: Se describe una paciente pediátrica con síndrome de Down quien presentó placas escamosas que afectaron la porción distal de los dedos, asociadas con distrofia ungueal e hiperqueratosis subungueal, por lo que se consideró acrodermatitis continua de Hallopeau como diagnóstico diferencial. Se realizó una biopsia tipo punch con lo que se llegó al diagnóstico de EC. La paciente recibió tratamiento sistémico con ivermectina vía oral y tratamiento tópico con crema hidratante y desonida al 0.1%. Mostró mejoría clínica notoria dos semanas después de finalizar el tratamiento. Conclusiones: La EC es una variante prevalente en pacientes inmunocomprometidos y con síndrome de Down que fácilmente puede confundirse con patologías inflamatorias con alteración de la queratinización epidérmica. Este caso se considera una presentación atípica debido a la afección localizada en los dedos de las manos asociada con distrofia ungueal. El estudio histopatológico fue necesario para realizar el diagnóstico y descartar diagnósticos diferenciales.


Abstract Background: Crusted scabies (CS) is an uncommon, highly contagious, variant of classic scabies. Elevated concentrations of the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis are found in the skin lesions, which lead to a more exaggerated clinical picture than in classic scabies. This disease is mainly observed in patients with any kind of immunosuppression and relates to Down syndrome. Case report: A pediatric female patient with Down syndrome, who presented a crusty white plaque associated with nail dystrophy and subungual hyperkeratosis affecting the distal portion of the fingers is described. Because of these findings, the diagnosis of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau was considered. A punch biopsy was performed, attaining the diagnosis of CS. She received systemic treatment with oral ivermectin, topical treatment with emollient cream and desonide 0.1%. Notorious clinical improvement was observed two weeks after finalizing treatment. Conclusions: CS is variant of scabies prevalent in immunocompromised patients and Down syndrome that can be easily confused with inflammatory pathologies with abnormal epidermal keratinization. This case is considered as an atypical presentation of the disease because of local affection of the fingers and nail dystrophy. The histopathological study was necessary to obtain the diagnosis and rule out differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Crusted scabies is a less common variant of scabies that is highly contagious, difficult to treat and involves infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. The classical clinical presentation includes crusted, scaly and generally non-pruritic lesions usually located on the head, neck, palmar, plantar and periungual region. It was first described in Norway in 1848 in patients with leprosy who presented with crusted lesions. In this study, we report the case of a patient with crusted scabies with florid clinical manifestations and chronic liver disease due to hepatitis B and delta virus infection.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Crusted or Norwegian scabies is a parasitic infectious disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis that mainly affects immunocompromised individuals and those with neurological patients. We report a case of crusted scabies in a 4-month-old infant who had been treated erroneously for atopic dermatitis with high doses of corticosteroids. This initial misdiagnosis associated with the abusive use of corticosteroid facilitated the evolution of scabies to crusted scabies and its main complications of secondary infection and sepsis.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Human scabies affects all social classes and different races around the world. It is highly contagious, but the exact figures on its prevalence are unknown. A 19-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency room reporting fever (38°C) and multiple lesions throughout the body, except face, soles, and palms. Lesions were non-pruritic, which hampered the initial diagnostic suspicion. Skin biopsy was performed, and the final diagnosis was crusted scabies (Norwegian). It was concluded that human scabies is a significant epidemic disease, due to its different clinical manifestations, and because it is extremely contagious.

ABSTRACT

La dermatoparasitosis producida por el acaro Sarcoptes scabiei variedad hominis, presenta una distribución poblacional relacionada al hacinamiento, condiciones higiénicas deficientes, pobreza y características geoclimáticas. El contagio ocurre de forma directa cutánea o a través de fómites. Liquiñe,poblado fronterizo de la Región de los Ríos, Chile, presenta en gran parte de su población las características mencionadas, con difícil acceso a comunicación digital y derivación médica. La incidencia de sarna se ve modificada al realizar intervenciones educacionales y saneamiento local, tanto como el diagnostico precoz y el tratamiento oportuno logran una modificación sustancial de la prevalencia. Se presenta el reporte de un caso. Paciente sexo femenino, 33 años, que presenta lesiones por grataje, excoriadas, con pápulo-pústulas de dos años de evolución, con manejo inicial sintomático por diagnóstico de dermatitis y psoriasis sin mejora de las lesiones. Conjuntamente se identifica en la hija de 4 años, lesiones primarias de características similares a las iniciales. Las lesiones de la menor se presentan como vesículas en espacio interdigital, muñe-cas, región periumbilical y surco acarino, compatibles con sarna. Se inicia tratamiento tópico permetrina 5 %a toda la familia, basados en las recomendaciones de la guía de manejo MINSAL. Se logra tras 2 años de evolución regresión total de los signos y síntomas a los 2 meses de iniciada la terapia. La presente revisión de caso pretende reforzar las ideas de diagnóstico precoz, tanto de caso índice como de probables contactos,educación continua a la comunidad. Tratamiento efectivo y oportuno, adecuado a la realidad socio cultural década localidad, tomando en cuenta factores de riesgos para la presentación y el abandono de la terapia. Asimismo promover las redes institucionales para la distribución de tratamiento, asesoramiento por especialistas y conocimientos actualizados de la semiología de cada cuadro dermatológico por el médico general.


The dermato parasitosis producedby the Sarcoptes scabiei mite hominis variety, has apopulation distribution related to over crowding, poor sanitation, poverty and geo-climatic characteristics.Transmission occurs directly through skin or fomites.In the border town of Liquiñe in the Region de los Rios,Chile, a substantial amount of the population is subject to the above characteristics, with difficult access to digital communication and medical referrals. The incidence of scabies is modified through educational interventions, and local sanitation, as well as early diag-nosis and timely treatment thus achieving a substantial change in prevalence. A case report is presented. Female patient, 33 years old presents with excoriated crusted lesions, with papules and pustules following two years of development, initial symptomatic management diagnosis of psoriasis and dermatitis,showed no improvement of the lesions. At the same time the 4 year old daughter of the patient presented with primary lesions similar to baseline characteristics.The child ́s lesions presented as vesicles in interdigital space, wrists, periumbilical region and mite grooves compatible with scabies. Permethrin 5% topical treatment was prescribed for the whole family, basedon the recommendations of the MINSAL guide management is initiated. At 2 months of treatment therapy on set, complete recovery was achieved following two years of evolution of signs and symptoms.This case review aims to reinforce the ideas of earlydiagnosis, in both probable index case and contact,and continuing education in the community. Effective and timely treatment, in conjunction with the socio-cultural reality of each community, taking into account risk factors, such as seeking medical treatment and abandoning therapy. Furthermore, it is also intended to promote institutional networks for treatment dissemination, counseling by specialists and updated information for each dermatological presentation for the general medicine physician.

ABSTRACT

La escabiosis es una ectoparasitosis pruriginosa producida por el ácaro Sarcoptes scabiei, variedad hominis, específica del ser humano. Si bien su distribución es universal, con frecuencia es subdiagnosticada por asociarla únicamente a hacinamiento y malos hábitos de higiene. Se transmite por contacto directo con una persona afectada o a través de fómites, por lo que es muy común el contagio de los convivientes. Presentamos un caso de escabiosis en una paciente anciana evaluada por prurito generalizado. (AU)


Scabies is a human specific pruritic ectoparasitosis produced by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Although it has a worldwide distribution, it is often underdiagnosed because it is only associated with overcrowding and poor hygiene. It is transmitted by a direct contact with an affected person or through fomites. The transmission to cohabitants is very common. We present a case of scabies in an elderly patient with generalized pruritus. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Several parasitic diseases affect the skin and appendages in humans, the most common are head lice and scabies. Both diseases have worldwide distribution with geographical variations. In Chile, the reported prevalence of head lice is 20-25 percent and of scabies 1-5 percent. Other ectoparasites include fleas and mite, causing transient parasitosis related to human and animal contact. These parasites are associated with various factors such as poor personal hygiene, promiscuity, long hair, crowding, and sharing of combs, among others. Various effective pharmacological therapies are available, which base on several active compounds. Important therapeutic options include topical treatments with pyrethroids, lindane, crotamiton, and malathion as well as oral medications such as ivermectin, which is used in case of drug intolerance, poor treatment response, infections with multiple parasites or concomitant bacterial infections. For some drugs, resistance has been reported in patients received multiple dosis.


Existen varias enfermedades parasitarias capaces de comprometer piel y fanéreos en el humano, siendo los más frecuentes la pediculosis y la escabiosis. Ambas enfermedades tienen distribución mundial variable según la localidad. En Chile, se describe una prevalencia de pediculosis capitis cercana a 20-25 por ciento y de escabiosis, entre 1 y 5 por ciento. Otras ectoparasitosis son la pulicosis y la acarosis, parasitosis transitorias relacionadas al contacto humano y animal. Estos agentes se asocian a diversos factores entre los que se encuentran escasa higiene personal, promiscuidad, uso de cabello largo, hacinamiento, intercambio de peines, entre otros. Las terapias farmacológicas disponibles son variadas y eficaces. Hay diversos compuestos activos entre los que destacan tratamientos tópicos como derivados piretroides, lindano, crotamitón y malatión; y medicamentos orales como ivermectina, utilizada en casos de mala tolerancia, escasa respuesta a tratamiento tópico, infestación múltiple o infección bacteriana concomitante. Se ha descrito resistencia a algunos compuestos en pacientes que han recibido múltiples dosis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of mass treatment of scabies with permethrin cream and oral ivermectin in a closed urban pediatric population. METHODS: A comparative trial of topical permethrin and oral ivermectin was conducted in a closed population of 84 children living in a urban hostel of Delhi. RESULTS: After mass treatment with 2 doses of oral ivermectin, one case was recorded in following 6 months, as compared to 22 cases in preceding 6 months when children were treated with a single application of 5% permethrin. CONCLUSION: Mass treatment of scabies with ivermectin in an endemic population is more efficacious as compared to topical permethrin application in reducing the baseline prevalence, decreasing the chain of transmission and chances of reinfection.

ABSTRACT

Realizamos el estudio epidemiológico de un brote de sarna ocurrido en un hospital terciario, a partir de un caso de sarna costrosa, en febrero de 2005. Detectamos diez casos secundarios; ocho en el personal de salud y dos en pacientes hospitalizados, con una tasa de ataque de 4,1 por ciento. A diferencia de otros brotes, el diagnóstico de sarna costrosa se hizo al ingreso del caso primario al hospital. Las causas del brote fueron: adherencia deficiente a las medidas de aislamiento de contacto, permanencia prolongada del caso primario en sala compartida, y retardo en el inicio del tratamiento específico. Las principales medidas de control fueron: alertar a los servicios sobre el brote, realizar vigilancia epidemiológica, coordinación con la Dirección del Hospital y el Departamento de Salud Ocupacional, capacitar al personal de salud en las medidas de control, instaurar medidas de aislamiento y tratar a los casos y sus contactos con permetrina 5 por ciento loción tópica.


In February 2005 we performed an epidemiological study of an outbreak of scabies in a tertiary-care hospital which started from a crusted scabies case. We detected 10 secondary cases, 8 in healthcare workers and 2 in hospitalized patients. The attack rate was 4.1 percent. In contrast to previously described outbreaks, the crusted scabies case was recognized at admission. The outbreak causes were: lacking adherence to contact precautions, long stay of the primary case in the hospital ward and delay of specific treatment. The main control measures were: alerting the hospital services about the outbreak, performing epidemiologic surveillance, coordinating with the Hospital Direction and the Occupational Health Department, education of healthcare workers in control measures, implementation of isolation measures and treatment of cases and contacts with 5 percent permethrin topical lotion.

ABSTRACT

Diferentes tipos de sarna han sido descritos con base en sus características clínicas, entre ellos la sarna costrosa (Noruega). Es una manifestación rara y extrema de la escabiosis que se produce principalmente en pacientes inmunosuprimidos. Se presenta el caso de un hombre de 42 años, homosexual, a quien se diagnosticó VIH y que presenta lesiones dérmicas pruriginosas de 4 meses de evolución en tronco y extremidades, constituidas por xerosis, pápulas decapitadas, placas eritematosas, manchas hipercrómicas residuales y múltiples excoriaciones e hiperpigmentación ungueal en ambos pies. Se trató inicialmente como dermatitis psorasiforme que no cedió al tratamiento con esteroides y antipruritico. Se realizó diagnóstico por biopsia que confirmó la sospecha clínica de sarna noruega. Se aplicó un tratamiento con una dosis de ivermectina oral y benzoato de bencilo tópico con remisión en dos días.


Different types of scabies have been described based on their clinical outcome, one of which is the Crusted (Norwegian) type. This is an extreme manifestation of scabies that can be observed mainly among immunosupressed patients. A case ofa 42 year-old homosexual man is described. The patient was diagnosed with HIV, presenting pruritic lesions with a 4 month evolution in trunk and extremities. Lesions included xerosis, decapitated papules, badges with erythema, residual hyperchromic stains, multiple abrasions and ungueal pigmentation in both feet. At the beginning it was treated as apsorasiform dermatitis with steroids and antipruritics without success. Through a biopsy the suspected diagnosis of Crusted (Norwegian) scabies was confirmed. The patient was treated with a dose of oral ivermectin and topical benzyl benzoate and showed remission after two days.

ABSTRACT

Entre Marzo-Junio de 2003, se ha llevado a cabo un estudio descriptivo y transversal controlado para evaluar la eficacia, seguridad, aceptación y tolerancia del ungüento azufre precipitado en petrolato (2,5%) en 71 escolares con signos y síntomas sugestivos de escabiosis, provenientes de Coro, Estado Falcón, Venezuela. El diagnóstico se hizo mediante datos anamnésicos y clínicos, y raspado de lesiones, procesándose microscópicamente con KOH (10%). El ungüento se aplicó a 1 dosis diaria durante 8 horas por 2 días, con 2 semanas de reposo, repitiéndose la dosis durante otros 2 días, retirándose la mezcla con jabón neutro y usando crema lubricante. La evaluación de la eficacia se realizó mediante cuantificación y raspado de las lesiones cutáneas y escala analógica visual (VAS) de prurito, al cabo de 7 - 30 días después de haberse finalizado la aplicación tópica. La valoración de los efectos colaterales se hizo por anamnesis y observaciones del médico. Todos los 71 niños presentaron escabiosis, y concluyeron el tratamiento, con una eficacia terapéutica del 100%, registrándose una reducción altamente significativa (p < 0,0001) al término del tratamiento del número promedio de lesiones (t =12,83; 231,14 vs 0) y VAS de prurito (t = 13,58; 39,7 vs 0,20). No se documentaron recidivas ni efectos adversos severos, siendo la tolerancia y aceptación satisfactoria. El ungüento azufre precipitado en petrolato al 2,5% es una herramienta quimioterapéutica eficaz, segura, de fácil acceso y aplicación, de tolerancia y aceptabilidad satisfactoria, y de bajos costos para el tratamiento tópico de la escabiosis infantil en los países en desarrollo.
