“…At the time of this writing, this is the first reported case of a concomitant skin infection involving acantholytic dermatosis and pediculosis pubis. Three cases in the literature describe an association between Grover’s disease and scabies caused by S. scabiei [ 7 , 8 , 9 ]. However, there are no reported cases that show a concomitant skin infection with pediculosis pubis and Grover’s disease.…”

A Rare Case of Transient Acantholytic Dermatosis (AKA. Grover’s Disease) with Concomitant Pediculosis Pubis: An Atypical Presentation and First Documented Case Report

A 66-year-old male presented with a one-month history of persistent pruritic eruptions distributed mainly on the trunk. A punch biopsy from the left upper abdomen revealed focal acantholytic dyskeratosis with mixed inflammatory infiltrate in the dermis composed of numerous eosinophils. Grover’s disease was diagnosed based on the clinical and histopathological findings. Appropriate treatment was initiated but failed to relieve symptoms of itchiness. A further investigation of the hair follicles under mineral oil preparation revealed an infestation of pediculosis pubis. Subsequent treatment with Ivermectin and permethrin cream led to the complete resolution of his symptoms. This case report highlights an unusual and first documented case of Grover’s disease with a concomitant infestation of pediculosis pubis. To date, no reported cases in the literature have associated Grover’s disease with pubic lice infestation. However, there are three reported cases of concurrent scabies and Grover’s disease in the literature. This rare case underscores the clinical value in further investigating treatable underlying conditions in patients with suspected transient acantholytic dermatosis.
