Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 26
Abstract
A 17 years old male patient presented with diffuse, ill defined, hyperpigmented, scaly plaques on the body, for the past 15 days. Lesions were more over the groin and also on both elbows and wrists. Patient is a known case of acute lymphocytic leukaemia, diagnosed at the age of 13 years and has been on treatment ever since. A KOH (10%) mount of the scales showed the presence of sarcoptes scabiei and skin biopsy with haematoxylin and eosin showed fragments of mite in the excised skin.
