“…The use of lindane is exceptionally discouraged in HIV patients with crusted scabies because of the increased risk of neurotoxicity. Norwegian scabies is usually resistant to conventional topical antiscabies therapies due to the hyperkeratosis in the crusts; therefore, crusts should be removed with the use of keratolytic agents such as lactic acid, urea or salicylic acid, and manual debridement [ 27 ].…”

Dermatological disorders are among the most prevalent manifestations of HIV infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In this review, we aimed to characterize the various dermatologic presentations among HIV-infected patients with a detailed categorization of the mucocutaneous signs and symptoms, their etiopathogenic factors, and clinical management. In fact, cutaneous manifestations of HIV are quite various, ranging from AIDS-specific skin eruptions (xerosis, pruritic papular eruptions, eosinophilic folliculitis, and acne), opportunistic infections (herpes simplex, molluscum contagiosum, cutaneous leishmaniasis, bacillary angiomatosis, disseminated histoplasmosis, disseminated cryptococcosis, and zoster) to AIDS-related malignancies (Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, and nonmelanoma skin cancers) and antiretroviral therapy (ART)-associated drug eruptions. We tried to classify HIV-related cutaneous presentations which can help clinicians for a better understanding of the various specific and nonspecific features of AIDS-associated cutaneous manifestations and management of the condition.

“…Considering the dubious sanitary condition of the nursing home, microscopy of skin scrapings was performed, revealing the infestation of Sarcoptes scabies (Figure 1b), confirming the diagnosis of Norwegian scabies. Norwegian scabies are typically seen in the immunocompromised, malnourished and bedridden institutionalized elderly individuals 1,2 . The topical sulphur ointment was applied overnight to the whole body for 3 consecutive days and was repeated in a week, clearing the rashes within 2 weeks.…”
