“…[3][4][5][6] Ivermectin has been used successfully in animals for the treatment of scabies and other parasitosis. 7,8 Since 1992, several clinical trials [9][10][11][12][13][14] have been carried out to test the use of ivermectin (100-200 µg/kg) for the treatment of human scabies. These trials revealed high cure rates-70% to 100%-for both the classic form and the crusted Norwegian scabies variety.…”

“…For classical scabies treatment, benzyl benzoate, permethrin, lindane, or ivermectin is repeatedly administered (2,4,8). We administered permethrin lotion three times a week for two weeks after topical keratolytics; however, the results of the treatment were not known as the patient did not show for a follow-up control examination.…”

“…The topical or systemic use of corticosteroids may mask the clinical picture of scabies and lead to uncommon presentation as scabies incognito, which can easily be mistaken for other skin diseases (3). Host response can be modified by immunosuppressive therapy (4). Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is characterized by numerous relapsing pustular eruptions on normal or mildly erythematous skin.…”

Scabies is a common parasitosis of the skin caused by Sarcoptes scabiei hominis. This infestation occurs in all geographic areas and across all age groups, races, and social classes. Poor economic conditions and lack of proper hygiene are risk factors for the disease. Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is characterized by numerous relapsing pustular eruptions on normal or mildly erythematous skin. The pustular eruption typically involves the flexural sites of the trunk and proximal extremities with pruritus and irritation symptoms. The pustules are superficial and rupture easily, resulting in a superficial crust, and they form annular, circinate, or serpiginous patterns. Here we reported a case of scabies incognito in an elderly woman that presented as subcorneal pustular dermatosis-like eruption. We assumed that this case could be reported because it is an unusual event among the general population. In conclusion, the differential diagnoses of skin diseases should be considered when diagnosing scabies. Thus, unnecessary therapy and contamination among people can be prevented.

İnfestasyon tüm coğrafi bölgelerde, tüm yaş grupları, ırklar ve sosyal sınıflarda oluşabilir. Kötü ekonomik durum ve uygun hijyen eksikliği hastalık için risk faktörleridir. Subkorneal püstüler dermatoz normal veya hafif eritemli cilt üzerinde çok sayıda nükseden püstüler erupsiyonlarla karakterizedir. Püstüler erupsiyon genellikle gövdeninin kıvrımlı bölgeleriyle, proksimal ekstremitelerde kaşıntı ve irritasyon belirtileri ile görülür. Yüzeysel ve kolayca yırtılan püstüller yüzeysel bir kabuklanma ile sonuçlanır ve yuvarlak, halka şeklinde ya da yılanvari bir desen oluşturabilir. Biz burada yaşlı bir hastada subkorneal püstüler dermatozis erupsiyonunu taklid eden gizli bir uyuz vakasını sunduk. Bu olgu, genel nüfus içinde alışılmadık bir olay olduğundan bildirmek için uygun olduğunu düşünmekteyiz. Sonuç olarak, cilt hastalıklarının ayırıcı tanısında uyuz göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Böylece, gereksiz tedavi ve insanlar arasında bulaşma önlenebilir. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2015; 39: 244-7)
