ABSTRACT:

Scabies surrepticius represents the non-classic atypical presentation of scabies and diagnosing scabies in these individuals could be difficult. We present a clinical case of a 71-year-old woman with intense body pruritus for about 2 years, unresponsive to oral and topical antibiotics, corticosteroid creams, topical calcineurin inhibitors, as well as antiallergic agents, due to a suspected allergic reaction.

KEYWORDS:

Scabies surrepticius, non-classic atypical presentation of scabies, intense body itching, diagnosis of scabies, treatment for scabies.
