ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Norwegian scabies (NS) is a serious parasitic skin condition. Although NS is one of the causes of erythroderma, it is frequently overlooked. Therefore, it is essential to raise awareness regarding NS presenting as erythroderma. CASESUMMARY:
We present a case of NS that persisted for more than 3 years. After following nonstandard treatment, the patient's rash worsened and gradually progressed into erythroderma. Finally, NS was diagnosed by skin microscopy and pathology.CONCLUSION:
When patients with pruritic dermatosis have high-risk factors such as prolonged bed rest and immunodeficiency, clinicians need to enhance their awareness of NS and ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment.
