ABSTRACT
Transmission of animal scabies to human is probably rare because of the relative host specificity of the mites. However, recurrent exposure to animal scabies mites can produce troublesome and diagnostically puzzling lesions. We report herein on a human infestation of canine scabies and this occurred in a 26-year-old male who presented with a 4-month history of severe pruritic skin lesions. His puppy was diagnosed with scabies infestation by a veterinarian two months previously. Since that time, he no longer raised the puppy. Microscopic examination of a mineral oil preparation after scraping the papules revealed a mite. He was diagnosed with canine scabies.
