Scabies Associated with Granulomatous Dermatitis

Case Rep Dermatol. 2017 Jul 13;9(2):60-64. doi: 10.1159/000477958. eCollection 2017 May-Aug.

Abstract

Scabies is a relatively common parasitic infection, which has sometimes been associated with the formation of granuloma annulare. We report the case of an 86-year-old female who developed a non-necrotizing granulomatous dermatitis after a scabies infestation. This case highlights the importance of considering scabies in the differential diagnosis when granulomatous dermatitis is noted histologically that cannot be explained by other causes.
