  • Title: [Report on erythroderma and scabies infection in connection with two cases of scabies norvegica].
    Author: Jenei M, Veres I, Schmidt E, Varga I, Remenyik E.
    Journal: Orv Hetil; 2008 Nov 23; 149(47):2229-35. PubMed ID: 19004745.
    Abstract:
    Erythroderma is an inflammation of almost the whole surface of the skin, characterized by erythema, skin infiltration and desquamation. Despite the etiological factors, the generalized inflammation of a large body surface can lead to a life-threatening condition in itself. Parasite infection lies rarely in the background of erythroderma. The Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis belonging to the mite family is the cause of scabies disease. While the prevalence of "classic" scabies is high world-wide, the more severe and more dangerous form - scabies norvegica - is only seldom observed. Diagnosis and treatment is highly important from an epidemiological aspect. The authors discuss the differential diagnostic problems and epidemiological significance of scabies infection and erythroderma using two cases.
