Crusted scabies is a rare and extremely contagious infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei. Kaposi's varicelliform eruption (KVE) refers to herpes simplex virus infection superimposed on pre-existing dermatosis such as atopic dermatitis, Darier's disease, and pemphigus. We report a case of KVE superimposed on crusted scabies in a middle-aged woman. Her condition was complicated with sepsis. She was treated with IV meropenem, vancomycin, and acyclovir and was released 2 weeks later in good condition. To our knowledge, only rare cases of crusted scabies complicated by KVE have been reported.

Herpes simplex virus 2 is well known to cause neurological complication. We describe the first reported case of reactivated HSV-2 myelitis, which was induced by immunosuppression due to sepsis. During the treatment of meningococcal meningitis, the patient developed quadriparesis, and later was diagnosed as HSV-2 myelitis, mimicking ICU acquired weakness. The case emphasizes the importance to exclude viral myelitis before making the diagnosis of ICU acquired weakness.
