摘要
Introduction: Scabies is a parasitic world-wide dermatosis caused by human ectoparasite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Crusted scabies is a severe and extremely contagious form of scabies with massive skin infestation. As a result of the clinical presentation not corresponding to the classic scabies, the establishment of a diagnosis is frequently delayed. Objective: We highlight the role of dermoscopy in establishing the diagnosis of scabies. Case report: We present the case of a 77-year-old nursing home resident with a history of psoriasis for over 30 years with symptoms of generalized erythematous-papular lesions covered by scales, accompanied by palmoplantar regions covered by plaques with linear fissures, ony- cholysis and subungual hyperkeratosis. The dermoscopic examination revealed "delta wing" sign and numerous aggregates of burrows, allowing to establish the diagnosis of scabies. Conclusions: Dermatoscopy as an easily accessible, fast and non-invasive examination can identify typical scabies characteristics, significan- tly improving the process of diagnosing.
