Crusted scabies
(
Norwegian scabies
) is uncommon in clinical practice and may present as papulosquamous dermatosis. A case of crusted scabies in
systemic lupus erythematosus
(
SLE
) is described. The skin lesions simulated those of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus of the papulosquamous type, and became the source of epidemic scabies in the hospital. The colonization with Staphylococcus aureus within crusted lesions may have contributed to the patient's sepsis. This case illustrates the pitfalls in recognition of crusted scabies and the importance of rapid diagnosis.

Norwegian type scabies is a severe skin infestation which has been described in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent people. We report a case of
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
(
SLE
) presenting as
Norwegian scabies
in a malnourished patient who had exceedingly high levels of serum IgE and low IgG 1. The CD(4) count was normal but the ratio CD(4)/CD(8) was decreased as a result of an increased CD(8) count. The extensive skin disease which led to the diagnosis of
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
was unresponsive to treatment until the
SLE
was properly controlled by therapy. The possible relationship between high IgE and low IgG1 levels and
Norwegian scabies
is discussed in the context of
systemic lupus erythematosus
.
