Scabies in an AIDS hospice unit.

V A Moss1, J Salisbury.   

Abstract

Scabies may cause severe problems in immunocompromised persons. Three case histories are presented which illustrate these problems in people with advanced AIDS. Recommendations for treatment and management are made, with a comment about the need for a high level of suspicion about any atypical rash in an immunocompromised patient.
