LOCALIZED CRUSTED SCABIES OF THE SCALP AND FEET

An atypical case of crusted scabies in a patient with acquired immunod eficiency syndrome is presented in which lesions at the time of evalua tion were confined to the scalp and feet, Because of the unusual prese ntation, the scalp involvement (which clinically mimicked seborrheic d ermatitis) was initially missed, Although both the crusted variant of scabies and scabietic involvement of the scalp are well documented to occur in immunocompromised patients, to our knowledge scabies confined to the scalp and feet has not been previously reported.
