ABSTRACT
Norwegian scabies is a rare clinical variant of human infestation with Sarcoptes scabiei, distinguished from the common form of scabies by the presence of remarkable hyperkeratotic scaly crusted skin lesions. It is often seen in the physically or mentally handicapped, immunocompromised, and institutionalized persons. We report a case of Norwegian scabies occuring in a 71-year-old man with pulmonary tuberculosis. He had been treated with systemic and topical corticosteroids for extensive generalized pruritus since about 8 months before.
